<P>Hi,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I was in a clinical trial and received a 1099-NEC for my compensation ($720). Reading this thread, I understand this to be subject to income tax but not self employment. However, when I enter the 1099-NEC in the software, it gets pushed to a Schedule C which makes it subject to self employment taxes which doesn't seem right. Any suggestions how to proceed?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks in advance.</P>
