I have done that but on that form there is no box 3. On my 1099-NEC I received it has the income listed under Box 3. There is no box 3 location for me to enter this information currently?

There is no box 3 on a Form 1099-NEC from the IRS - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1099nec.pdf

There is a box 3 on a Form 1099-MISC shown as Other Income.

Why did you receive this form? Is the amount shown on your form for work performed as a self-employed independent contractor?
