Depending on the nature of the work your sales staff does for you and the degree of control you exert over their duties, you may be able to treat them as subcontractors rather than employees. If so, you should issue them a Form 1099-NEC to report the payments you make to them. 

 

You should review the requirements for treating a worker as a subcontractor as opposed to an employee, however, as the penalties for getting it wrong can be severe. You can learn more in the IRS article:  Employee versus contractor - IRS

You would issue a Form 1099-NEC for commissions paid. You can do that through TurboTax. You will see an option for that when you choose the return you want to work on in TurboTax Business:

 

 

For the commission paid to the salary worker, you should include that in his or her wages. It is subject to payroll taxes just like a normal pay check.
