A 1099-NEC having an amount in Box 1 is a good indicator that it's self-employment income.

 

  1. Open your return (if not already open).  
  2. Enter your Form 1099-NEC by Searching for "1099-NEC" and then 
  3. Select the "Jump to" link.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.  

 

After you enter the info from your form, the program will ask you a few questions to make sure it’s for self-employment.  If it is not for self-employment, it will link the amount to the correct income section of your return.
