Where to enter 1098-NEC I issued independent contractors?

In the expenses section for your self-employment, select Contract Labor to report the amount paid from the 1099-NEC.

Thanks. I did that.bur thought there was another area where I’d have to enter their SS numbers.  

No, the social security numbers (SSNs) for your independent contractors are not required to be entered in your tax return. 

The SSNs are required only when you issue the 1099-NEC forms to your independent contractors and the copy you send to the IRS with your transmittal (1096).
