I received a 1099-nec for my daughter for coaching volleyball. When I go to enter information her name is not available to select. How do I add her?

Who was the volleyball coach?  You?  Or your daughter?

If your daughter was the coach who received a 1099NEC:

MY DEPENDENT HAD A JOB

If your dependent has a W-2 for his after-school job, summer job, etc. you do not include the information on your own return. You can still claim your child as a dependent on your own return.  He/she can file his own return for a refund of some of his withheld wages from boxes 2 or 17 (he won’t get back anything for Social Security or Medicare), but MUST indicate on it that he can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return.  (Supervise this closely or prepare it for him!)

If your dependent’s earnings were over $400 and were reported on a 1099Misc or 1099NEC then he must file a return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.

You might also want to use free software from the IRS Free File versions:

My daughter is a dependent and doesn't work yet.  She signed up with her club to help coach their junior's program for young kids.  The 1099-nec is all she will receive for money earned last year.

If she earned at least $400, she has to pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, even if she is your dependent.   She will have to file a return and on that return she will need to say that someone else can claim her as a dependent.

Since the online software for self-employment income is costly, look into using one of the free software programs offered at the IRS site:

 There are 8  free software versions available from the IRS Free File site
