How do I enter a 1099-K for an online job? I got paid through Paypal.

The job was at dataannotation.tech.

This income is self-employment income, which should be reported on Schedule C.

 

Please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help article to enter your form 1099-K.

I'm at the Self-employment page, but I don't see anywhere I would input the 1099-K info. All I see related to that is "Required to send a 1099." Isn't that just for employers?

In the Schedule C interview, if you did not pay any sub-contractors, then reply No to the question Did you make these payments for your work?. Then continue until you arrive at the page Let's enter the income for your work. Click on Form 1099-K (see attached screenshot)
