1099 NEC is for self employment.
A 1099-G is for a state tax rebate payment, unemployment.
If you are talking about for going to college, then you would have received a 1098-T form.
What type of grant was it? If you had to perform services for the grant, then it could be reported on the 1099-NEC.
Only government payments should be reported on the 1099-G.
The grant was from the city and it was an individual artist performer grant that was mainly to be used for equipment and such. Not for compensation for work. When I tried entering the 1099-NEC is took me to a screen to ask more information and it gave be choices to explain what the 1099 was for but none fit the bill and it wouldn’t let me go forward.
If you did not have to return the money not used for equipment and such, then this would still be for compensation for services as well.
So, what you will do is enter it as a 1099-NEC as self-employment and then deduct your expenses from the payment as well.
