How to file for dependent's 1099-NEC

[nexus667]

I have an 1099-NEC for my high school aged son who participated in a Research program, how do I file? It for $2500. I already filed my taxes.

Your son will file and report form 1099-NEC on his own return. He need to check the box that someone else will claim him as a dependent.

 The 1099-NEC form specifically reports Nonemployee Compensation.

To enter your 1099-NEC in TurboTax:

1. Sign in and open or continue your return.
2. Search for 1099-NEC and select the Jump to link.
3. Answer the questions and continue through to enter the information from your form.
   • If you have multiple 1099-NECs to enter, you can select +Add Another 1099-NEC on the 1099-NEC Summary screen.

When you’re done, we’ll ask you a few questions and help you through entering any expenses you may have so that you can reduce your taxable income.

What is a 1099-NEC?

which is the correct tax product for the dependent son to use when the only forms he has is 1099G (Unemployment) and 1099-NEC (Instacart)? He also is using these proceeds to pay his college tuition. Which product/forms should he use? thanks.

1099-NEC requires TurboTax Self-Employed (or desktop Home & Business) - this program will allow your son to deduct the expenses of his Instacart income (mileage, tolls, etc.) and will also handle 1099-G income.

Enter "1099-nec" in the search window and select "jump to 1099-nec" from the search results. This is "self-employment income".
