Yes--you have to. ALL of your income goes on the same tax return. Since you have a 1099NEC with self employment income you will need online Premium to prepare a schedule C for your business expenses.

Yes you can enter a W-2 as an employee and a Form 1099-NEC as self-employed using the same tax return.

If you are going to use the TurboTax online editions you will need to upgrade to the Premium online edition - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/premium/
