You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
1) Add the cost for the contractors as a business expense under whatever category applies (usually Contract Services).
2) Yes, you should report all payments to contractors, regardless of the amount.
3) You may be able to use TurboTax Quick Employer Forms (QEF), a service we offer to customers who use the TurboTax Business, TurboTax Premium Online, and TurboTax Home & Business Download/CD. The service allows you to create and e-file Form 1099-NEC for non-employee compensation (contractor services).
If you paid anyone $600 or more you need to give them a 1099NEC (was a 1099Misc). But not to corporations or for merchandise. You send the IRS a copy of the 1099NEC with the transmittal summary form 1096. These are due to the person by Jan 31 and to the IRS by Jan 31 also.
That is Contract Labor on Schedule C line 11. You can just enter the total for all.
