The presentation of IRS form 1099-NEC is that way because the IRS presumes that IRS form 1099-NEC income is self-employment income that is subject to self-employment tax computed on Schedule SE as well as income tax computed on IRS Form 1040.
In an effort to eliminate this confusion, I recommend that you:
- First, create the self-employment activities within TurboTax, then,
- Second, enter IRS form 1099-NEC income into the appropriate self-employment activity.
So, if you have self-employment activities A and B and IRS forms 1099-NEC W, X, Y and Z:
- Create self-employment activity A, then
- Create self-employment activity B, then
Enter the appropriate IRS form 1099-NEC into the correct self-employment activity. For instance,
- Enter IRS form 1099-NEC W and X into self-employment activity A, and
- Enter IRS form 1099-NEC Y and Z into self-employment activity B.
In TurboTax Online, create the self-employment activity by following these steps:
- Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
- Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income.
- Scroll down to Self-employment click on the dropdown menu.
- Click Start/Revisit to the right of Self-employment income and expenses.
In TurboTax Online, within the create the self-employment activity:
- Click Edit to the right of the appropriate self-employment activity.
- Under Income, select Add income for this work.
- Select Form 1099-NEC. Click Continue.
- Enter the appropriate income.
