1099-NEC

[NanaJPOD]

A former employer gave me a bonus after my employment ended.  Turbo Tax is prompting me to enter a business code, as well as a business name and address, since it's classifying me as self employed.  I am not technically self-employed, I work for another company.  I'm not sure how to handle this.  Should they have issued a 1099-MISC instead?

Go to your Wage & Income section in TurboTax, scroll down to "Other common Income" and select the 1099-NEC section and follow the prompt.  As long as you don't specifically indicate that the income was self-employment income, this method will not ask you for business information when entering your 1099-NEC income.
