You would need to contact the organization that issued you the 1099-NEC and have them send you a corrected version with $0 income and a 1099-MISC to replace it.

What is Form 1099-NEC? Who receives Form 1099-NEC?

Starting in tax year 2020, 1099-NEC (non-employee compensation) will be issued to self-employed individuals, like independent contractors, freelancers, or side-giggers who have been paid $600 or more.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. That is what I thought, but greatly appreciate the confirmation. When I file, should I then upload both the corrected NEC version and the correct MISC version. And, should I go back and just delete my entered, but not sent, 1099-NEC on the Turbo Tax software?

No, once you have the corrected version of the 1099-NEC, you omit it entirely. It is not correct information. Just ignore it until you can get the corrected version. You will have to wait until you receive it to file.
