In TurboTax Self-employed Online, I entered an IRS form 1099-NEC by following these steps:
- Go to Federal / Wages & Income / Other Common income / Form 1099-NEC.
- At the screen Describe the reason for this 1099-NEC, enter the reason for this income.
- At the screen Does one of these uncommon situations apply?, select None of these apply to me.
I came to this screen. How did you answer this screen?

TurboTax is wanting to either:
- (1) add the 1099-NEC as its own self-employment activity (Schedule C), or
- (2) create a new self-employment activity for the 1099-NEC.
If you are seeing the screen above, have you assigned the 1099-NEC to one self-employment activity or another?
Perhaps the errors that you are seeing are related to either:
- assigning the income to a self-employment activity, or
- creating a self-employment activity after entering the 1099-NEC entry.
Please clarify.
