Error help please..Received 1099-NEC from a company. I do not run a business. I worked part time. How resolve error pls?

As of March 11 the issue still has not been resolved because I'm having the exact same issue. I was told they would fix it in 72hours. Still hasn't been fixed but the rep went ahead and convinced me to pay for the service that they have not yet provided. 

Hey turbo tax, can I have my money back? This issue has clearly been around for a while now and the bug has not been fixed.

@GloriaL Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've had such a frustrating time because I filed very early only to find that my contractor sent me a 1099-NEC with the wrong amount. They sent me a corrected 1099-NEC about a week after I filed. I had to wait almost two months for the amended tax return form to become available on TurboTax online to amend my return. This held up my state and local tax returns because I base them on my federal return. Finally, the amended tax return form becomes available (later than promised) and all I want to do is change the figure in box 1, nonemployee compensation. But TurboTax asks me a couple dozen more questions and then throws up the error about the invalid link between the 1099-NEC and Schedule C. Thanks to your solution, I finally was able to finish the amended return.

Nobody is paying attention to your original error message that started this whole thread including you ... and me ... initially.  The error message was:

“Form 1099-NEC worksheet (company name of company that paid me): A link to Schedule C and a link to either Schedule F, Form 8919 (Wages) or  Other Income Statement have been selected to report nonemployee compensation. Only one can be selected. You must remove the link that is not applicable.“

What this means is that only 1 option in Box 1 can be used, but from your screen shot, you have both a link to a Schedule C and the “Other Income” box checked.  I unchecked this latter box, and the Turbo Tax review error went away.

If you've received a 1099-NEC and do not meet the Groetzinger test ("trade or business" is 1. regular and continuous and 2. with a profit motive), the 1099-NEC should be entered in TurboTax under Income, Less Common Income, Miscellaneous Income, Other Reportable Income (note: the labels differ in various versions) when it asks for a description input "1099-NEC One-time payment for --------------".
If you entered a 1099-NEC in Schedule C or Other Common Income, Form 1099-NEC, delete the entry, CLEAR YOUR BROWSER then shut down and restart your device.

It should be noted that there is no deduction for expenses incurred in the production of Other Common Income. Example, you're a W-2 employee, a boat dealer sees your honking big pickup and offers you $1,000 to deliver a boat, you incur fuel, tolls, parking charges and get a speeding ticket. Since this isn't a trade or business (not regular and continuous) there is no deduction under Sec. 162 for trade or business expenses but on the other hand since it isn't a trade or business it's not self employment income under Sec. 1402 subject to self employment taxes. The speeding ticket isn't ever deductible, even for the trade or business because it's a governmental fine or penalty.

I do not believe that the IRS intentionally wrote the instructions to payors for 1099-NEC to trick innocent taxpayers into paying self employment taxes that aren't due because "never ascribe to malice . . ."
