    What is it for?  If for work you did, you should have received a 1099-NEC instead.

    Non-employee compensation should have been reported on Form 1099-NEC.  Beginning in 2020, the IRS has changed the method of reporting non-employee compensation, which used to be reported in Box 7 of the 1099-MISC.  Non-employee compensation is now reported on Form 1099-NEC.  

     

    To enter the income on the 1099-MISC you received:

    1. Click Wages & Income
    2. Under the Self-Employment section, click the Start/Revisit box next to Self-employment income and expenses.
    3. Click the box Add Income for this work.
    4. On the screen, Let's enter the income for your [XX] work, mark the radio button for Form 1099-NEC
    5. On the next screen, OK, let’s get some details from your 1099-NEC enter the amount from box 7 of the 1099-MISC in Box 1 of Form 1099-NEC.
