Delete your 1099-NEC. Enter it as directed below.

 

To set up your business:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Search for schedule c and click the Jump to link in the search results.

    • If you've already entered self-employment work and need to enter more, select Add another line of work.

THANK YOU so much.  Looks like I neglected to put the "name" of the "side job" in that spot.  What a relief!
