Currently there is a known issue when using TurboTax Online that is related to the program asking you to double-click to link to Schedule C.
Also you can review the information below for a possible steps to solve the issue.
Income reported on Form 1099-NEC must be reported on Schedule C, the program is trying to link these two forms together to be sure that it is reported correctly and on the right form.
Revisit the section where you entered the Form 1099-NEC if you entered it on its own and delete that entry, by following these steps:
This will bring you a summary of all Form 1099-NEC that you have entered. Click Delete or the trash can icon next to each one.
Next, you will re-enter the Form 1099-NEC as part of the Schedule C so that the income is reported directly as part of your Business Income and Expenses and within the correct form and section of your return.
Follow these steps to go to the Schedule C section of your return:
If you already have created a Schedule C in your return, click on edit and go to the section to Add Income. This is where you will re-enter the Form 1099-NEC.
If you do not already have a Schedule C in your return, follow the prompts and enter the information about your work/business for which you received the Form 1099-NEC. Then continue through that section to Add Income and enter the Form 1099-NEC along with any additional income you received for that business.
Once you have completed this, the error should be eliminated.
So does this mean that I cannot file until this is fixed?

I just spent an hour following these directions and NOTHING changed. This is very frustrating. I have already paid for this service, and I cannot file until it is fixed.
I have signed up to be notified four times. Nothing. When will this be fixed?
You will need to enter the information in both Form 1099-NEC and Schedule C sections. You would start from the 1099-NEC section under "1099-MISC and Other Common Income". You would then follow prompts to tell the program you are filing a Schedule C. As it creates a Schedule C for you, you will need to go to the Schedule C portion separately to confirm your income amount, add related expenses and complete required information.
In TurboTax online, here are the steps:

Beginning with the 2020 tax year, the IRS will require business taxpayers to report nonemployee compensation on the new Form 1099-NEC instead of on Form 1099-MISC. Businesses will need to use this form if they made payments totaling $600 or more to a nonemployee, such as an independent contractor. This was done to help clarify the separate filing deadlines on Form 1099-MISC and the new 1099-NEC form will be used starting with the 2020 tax year.
I have followed these instructions to the letter a number of times and still run into this error. I wonder if there's a serious bug in Turbo Tax for reporting 1099-NEC income
Sorry for my last post but when I separately went to the 1099-NEC section I was able to delete two duplicate entries that were missing data. This solved the problem. Thank you!
Ignore this. The previous reply fixed my issue

Generally, most taxpayers who receive a Form1099-NEC are considered as self employed by the IRS and required to pay self-employment tax. You will need to file a Schedule C reporting both income and any related expenses. The net profit will shows on line 8 of Schedule 1 and Form 1040.
Many thanks, this fixed my issue!
