I am a new norwex consultant & got a 1099 misc form with box 7 marked. I’m trying to figure out where I put my commission I earned off my sales.

When I fill out my 1099 nec & put my commision in box 7, it doesn’t add that amount to my income. Can I put my commision I made in box 1 or do I just fill out a separate form for it

the company that sent you the 1099 with box 7 completed was using an outdated form if you are talking about the year 2020.  They should have used form 1099-NEC. You have several options.

1) use form 1099-NEC instead. the amount on line 7 of the 1099-MISC would go on line 1 of the 1099-NEC

2) don't bother entering the 1099-MISC. the only important item is on line 7

pretend you never got the form so enter the amount on line 1a of Schedule C
