In 2021 I had total of 3 -W-2 forms for a total approx $16500.00. I also received one 1099 NEC for some work as a door dash driver. Do I just add the NEC amount to adjusted gross income line on the IRS short form? Or must I fill out another sep form?

    You need to include the income from your 1099 as self-employment income.

     

    Follow these steps to go to the Schedule C section of your return:

     

    On the top right corner of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner).

    1. Type in “schedule c” (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find).
    2. Click on “Jump to schedule c”.
    3. Click on the blue “Jump to schedule c” link

    Yes, as a contractor you are considered Self-employed by the IRS.  Follow the instructions given by @ColeenD3 and also review What self-employed expenses can I deduct?
