Did you, or did you not, get a 1099-NEC?  (You said both).  And insurance has nothing  to do with whether you should have gotten a W-2 instead.  It sounds like you were a Household Employee, and should have received received a W-2.

Yes, but you will need to add this in as Self-Employed income because you need to pay SE tax on top of your income tax.

  1. Go to Federal > Income & Expenses
  2. Scroll down to See all income. In the Self-employment section, click Start next to Income & Expenses
  3. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
  4. Continue through the interview to enter your business information.
  5. First indicate that he works in delivery. Then the program will ask what type of delivery and will give the a choice whether it is package delivery, food delivery etc., 
  6. When you get to the Let's Review Your Work Info screen, make sure everything is correct and then click Looks Good
  7. On the Let's get income for work screen, select the type of income you want to enter and click Continue.
  8. Proceed through the rest of the interview to enter your income and any expenses that you may be able to claim.
