In 2019, I had some income from DoorDash. We did not do any DD this year. TurboTax is still trying to make me enter a 1099-NEC, but I don't have one. How to remove?

If you did not have any self-employment income in 2020 then please follow these steps to delete any self-employment information that got carried over:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on the Search box on the top and type “self-employed”
  3. Click on “Jump to self-employed”
  4. Delete the information.

Please see What is Form 1099-NEC? for additional information.

Thanks for the quick response!  I have done that and when I go to review my Federal, it still wants me to enter information on a 1099-NEC.

....and there are no 1099-MISCs or 1099-NECs listed on the income section.

I figured it out!  I had to act like I was adding self-employment income, and go in and manually delete the empty 1099 forms.  So even though it wasn't showing I had 1099's on the income summary page, the forms were still out there.

The Form 1099-NEC has replaced the Form 1099-MISC for nonemployee compensation. There will be no need to enter any 1099-MISC for income received due to services you performed. 

 

Here are steps to enter the 1099-NEC for your business.  There are two methods to choose from.

 

When you are signed into your TurboTax account follow the steps below.

  1. Select Wages & Income > Self-employment Income > Review
  2. Select the business where you want to enter your 1099-NEC
  3. Skip import if you choose > Select Form 1099-NEC, new IRS form for nonemployee compensation (replaces 1099-MISC) > Continue
  4. Enter your data from the 1099-NEC

NOTE:  You can also choose to enter this as a cash payment of business income by selecting Other self-employed income, includes 1099-K, cash, and checks (if you choose this, delete the 1099-NEC).  Currently, there is a known issue where the spouse is not connected with the form should this be applicable to your situation.
