Please explain who issued each of those 1099NEC's that you have----"one for myself and one for my business"
The same person. I was hired as a non employee, self-employed. I was working under my name till I got my EIN number. After giving her my EIN I started earning money under my business name. What I'm really having a hard time with is not having a business code to pur with my name. That's what I'm confused on.
It depends. In your case it may be best to just add your business income in the self employment section of the tax return and do not enter the 1099-NECs. You should use one business schedule and one business code because it's all the same business activity.
If you have employees then an EIN could be necessary. However, if you don't have any then this is not required unless you have a separate entity such as LLC, Partnership, S-Corporation, etc. Keep the documents in your tax file.
