How do I remove a link to Schedule C and/or "Other Income" on the 1099-NEC Worksheet? Turbo Tax tells me it's wrong but won't let me make changes.

Also it seems that both of these are valid

It depends which Forms 1099-NEC you need to keep. They should not be entered twice. To get past this error, try deleting all Forms 1099-NEC and re-entering them.

 

To delete them one at a time, follow these steps:

  1. From the left menu, select Tax Tools.
  2. Select Tools.
  3. Scroll to Delete a Form.
  4. Scroll to Form 1099-NEC and select Delete and Delete Selected Form and Delete.
  5. Repeat this for all Forms 1099-NEC currently in TurboTax.

To add the Forms 1099-NEC as received:

  1. Enter schedule c in the search box.
  2. Select the Jump to link in the search results.
  3. At Let's enter the income for your work, under COMMON INCOME, select Form 1099-NEC, new IRS form for nonemployee compensation (replaces 1099-MISC) to enter your details.

Forms 1099-NEC are for nonemployee compensation and should be associated with your Schedule C. Report them in the income section of the self-employment income & expenses section.

Thank you, I had to delete Schedule C and then re-create it.  Not sure what the issue was or why it was linked twice.
