To create Form 1099-NEC, here are the steps:

 

In TurboTax Self-employed online program, 

  • After sign in, select Pick up where you left off
  • On your left menu, select Tax Tools/drop-down menu, then Tools 
  • On the next pop-up box, Tools Center, select Topic Search
  • Under Topic Search, type in Create and highlight create from 1099-misc or w-2 
  • Select Go
  • On screen,"W-2/1099 Reporter"  select Start here 
  • Follow prompts

Beginning with the 2020 tax year, the IRS will require business taxpayers to report nonemployee compensation on the new Form 1099-NEC instead of on Form 1099-MISC. Businesses will need to use this form if they made payments totaling $600 or more to a nonemployee, such as an independent contractor.  This was done to help clarify the separate filing deadlines on Form 1099-MISC and the new 1099-NEC form will be used starting with the 2020 tax year.

 

Your self-employment net profit will show on your Schedule 1 line 3 and line 8 of your Form 1040.
