You just 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.

I did this, but Turbo Tax keeps prompting me to fill out the 1099 NEC with a EIN for an employer.  I reviewed everything and there does not seem to be a way to indicate that the 1099 NEC doesn't apply to me as an Independent Contractor. Any advice?  Thanks!

DELETE  any 1099 form you started  and skip that section all together ...
