Which form should I be filling out if I'm a freelance graphic designer who earned less than $600 in 2022? I did not get a 1099-NEC form from my payer.

[MinhT1]

As you have earned less than $600 of self-employed income, you will not get a form 1099-NEC.

But you are still required to report this income as Other Self-employed income.

You report the income you received in cash, checks or bank transfers or without a 1099-NEC as self-employed income under Other self-employed income.

• In business income, just under Type of Income, click on Add Income for this work
• On the next page, click on the radio button next to Other Self-employed Income
• Click Continue to enter your income received in cash, checks or bank transfers.

If you have expenses related to this business, you can deduct them.

To report your business income and expenses, you'll need to use TurboTax Deluxe or TurboTax Self-Employed (Online) if you have expenses to deduct or TurboTax Home and Business (CD/Download).

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs. All the Desktop programs have the same forms.  You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.
