1099NEC you received? Or need to prepare and send to people you paid?

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.

How to enter income from Self Employment

Actually I would just enter your total income as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income. You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099K. Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash. Only the total goes to schedule C.

If you need to issue 1099NEC.

There are several different ways to prepare W2 and 1099 forms depending on which version you have.

In the Online Self Employed version you use the Quick Employer Forms. The forms are efiled to the IRS and you print and mail them to your contractors and employees. Start an Online Self Employed version here,

In the Mac Home & Business Desktop version you use the Quick Employer Forms. The forms are efiled to the IRS and you print and mail them to your contractors and employees. At the bottom of the Welcome to Turbo Tax screen it should say Create 1099s for Contractors and W2s for Employees.

In the Windows Home & Business Desktop program or the separate Business program you can prepare W2 & 1099 on your computer using the built in W2/1099 Reporter or online using the Quick Employer Forms. If you do them on your computer you have to mail the forms to the IRS yourself.

Assuming you have the Online Self Employed version,

Log into your account

Scroll down to Your Account and click on Show

Click on Create W-2s and 1099s

In your return, Anywhere on any screen you see....

Help me prepare and file W-2s and 1099s

Click on it and the side box will open, Then click on Quick Employer Forms in the side box.

Or from the Account Screen it will take you directly to Quick Employer Forms
