I have a 1099-NEC but it doesnt belong to one of the categories they list? What do I pick it wont let me go any further until i do

 What is the income for? Generally it would be considered Self-Employment income. 

 

A 1099-NEC is for non-employee compensation.  You will enter this as self employment income.  You will need to file a Schedule C and pay SE taxes.  You may also enter any expenses related to your work to reduce your income.

 

To file a Schedule C, here are the steps:

  1. Sign in to your account and select Pick up where you left off
  2. At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in schedule C and Enter 
  3. Select Jump to schedule C 
  4. Follow prompts,
