I made just under $1,000 through ShiftKey in 2023 and was expecting to file a 1099-NEC, but apparently now they only distribute 1099-Ks. How do I report these earnings?

This income and any related expenses would be reported on Schedule C, which is found under the Business Income topic in TurboTax. You don't need a 1099 in order to report business income. Your accounting records are sufficient.

 

The easiest way to find any section of TurboTax is to open your return and use the Search box at the top right side of the TurboTax header. Click on the magnifying glass, type in the topic you need, hit Enter, and click the "jump to" link to go directly to beginning of that topic.

 

Or go to the left column in TurboTax Online and click on Tax Tools >> Tools >> Topic Search. Type in your topic, then click the topic in the list to go directly to the start of that section.

There is a section in TurboTax for reporting receipts reported on a 1099-K form. It is in the Other Common Income section, in the Wages and Income area in TurboTax. Look for Income from Form 1099-K

I guess I should clarify - I wasn’t issued a 1099-K, I wasn’t issued anything at all. They are only issuing the 1099-K to contractors who made $20,000+ and 200+ transactions (worked 200+ shifts?).

 

So I guess I’m just wondering how to report this income without any documentation from ShiftKey
