1099-NECs (Showing up & Never Received

Hi,
I have 2 questions. 
Is this true for anyone else? My totals for my 1099-NECs aren't showing up in the summary column. They were manually entered as I received them in the mail. I even tried deleting and re-entering. Is this true for anyone else?

Where does the income that either should have been submitted on a 1099-NEC (i.e., Over $600) and that under 600 show up. (I added it under Other income as despite my efforts 2 employers did not submit the 1099s.) and others were under $600

Appreciate the help - especially re: summary. It's got me freaked out that it's missing

If you were performing work for a company and they reported your income on a Form 1099-NEC, then that company considered you to be an independent contractor and not their employee.  As an independent contractor your income reported on Form 1099-NEC will need to show up on a Schedule C Business Income and Expenses.

 

Being an independent contractor for the work you did means that you are considered to be self-employed in the eyes of the IRS and your income (and expenses, if any) should be reported on Schedule C.

Am I considered self-employed?
