4 months last year I was an independent insurance agent for MassMutual but made no sales and did not receive a 1099. Do I mark self employed?

4 months last year I was an independent insurance agent for MassMutual but made no sales and did not receive a 1099 all I have is a 1095-C showing I was covered for health insurance. Do I need to add this as self employed in the Wages & Income section as I did incur some expenses I would like to deduct.

I suggest you use sch C to record no income and the expenses associated as a contractor for the insurance co. You don't need a 1099Misc.

Yes; if you've generated personal expenses, you will have to file as self-employed to get those deductions.
