Yes. The income you receive that is reported on the 1099-NEC is considered the same as Self-Employment income. When you enter the 1099-NEC in TurboTax it will go to Schedule C. This is where income you receive for work when not an employee is reported.
What Is a Schedule C IRS form?
Yes. A 1099NEC non employee compensation is self employment.
You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium version. Or use any of the Desktop installed programs. All the Desktop programs have the same forms. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.
How to enter income from Self Employment
You need to fill out schedule C for self employment business income and pay self employment tax in addition to regular income tax on it. The SE tax is to pay Social Security and Medicare tax that wasn't taken out like on a W2.
You use your own name and ssn or business name and EIN if you have one. You should say you use the Cash Accounting Method and all income is at risk. After you put in your income and expenses if your net profit is $400 or more you will pay 15.3% for Self Employment tax in addition to your regular income tax. The Schedule SE will be automatically filled out for it.
