You will have to report your income from Form 1099-NEC on Schedule C. The IRS considers this income as self-employment income. You don't have to name the business, you can use your name. The good thing is that you'll be able to deduct reasonable and customary business expenses from that income.
To report self-employment income, follow the steps below:
For additional information, refer to the TurboTax Help articles How to File Taxes with IRS Form 1099-NEC, Reporting Self-Employment Business Income and Deductions, and What self-employed expenses can I deduct?
Actually I would just enter your total income as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income. You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099K. Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash. Only the total goes to schedule C.
You can fill out Schedule C and enter 1099NEC, Cash or Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs. All the Desktop programs have the same forms, so you can buy a lower version. You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.
