Form 1099-NEC shows income paid to a nonemployee for services (for example, an independent contractor). Generally, amounts paid to individuals that are reportable in box 1 are subject to self-employment tax. If you did work for someone who is not your employer, you can select Self-Employment and TurboTax will guide you through the process of preparing a Schedule C and other forms needed to file with the IRS.
