Question about 1040

I am fulling out my 1040 because I worked on a 1099-NEC. It is asking me for my accounting method, which one should I choose. There is Cash, Accrual, and other. I used my 1099 for COVID disaster relief.

Most taxpayers use Cash Method accounting.  If you would use anything different, if you did not set up anything else, the default is cash.
