I have a sole-prop, have a schedule C and paid a vendor $2500 and issued them a 1099 but dont know where to record that in turbo tax

You might not needed to give them a 1099NEC.  You need to give a 1099NEC to anyone you paid $600 or more to for the year. But not to corporations or for merchandise. You send the IRS a copy of the 1099Misc 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 Schedule C line 11. You can just enter the total or list each one. Only the total goes to schedule C.  I had a link on how to enter it but it doesn't work anymore.  What version are you using?  I have the Desktop Home & Business program.  It goes here,

Go to Business tab- then Continue
Choose Jump to Full List -or I'll choose what I work on

Then…..
Business Income and Expenses - Click the Start or Update button

Then click EDIT by the business name and the next screen should be a list of topics,
Business Profile, Income, Inventory/Cost of Goods Sold, Expenses, Assets, and Final Details last.

Under Business Expenses, Click Start or Update by Other common business expenses

Contract Labor is the 5th item under Expenses - Click the Start or Update button
