ALL of your income must be entered on the same tax return. That will include your W-2, your 1099NEC or 1099Misc, your 1099G for unemployment compensation and any other income you received in 2020.

You will need to use online Self-Employed or any version of desktop software in order to prepare a schedule C for the business expenses you had for your work as an independent contractor.

You cannot deduct job-related expenses for your W-2 job on your federal return. If you purchased tools etc. for the work you do as an independent contractor you enter them under your self-employment.
