Hello:  

You will be using your W-2 and 1099 Forms to File Your Taxes on Form 1040:

You are required to report all of your income. If you file your taxes with TurboTax, you'll have the option to record or import your W-2 form right away, and easily search for each of the other Form 1099 options.

Hello, your W2 wages will flow directly to form 1040. As an independent contractor you will report self employed income on Schedule C. Once reported on Schedule C, you will also see this info flow to your form 1040.  You may or may not receive a 100NEC for work performed. If you do not receive a 1099NEC, you are still required to report all income earned.

 

Please be aware of the Self employed tax that must be paid on net profit of self employed income. Below is a link to explain the Self Employed Tax.
