Hello. I entered into TurboTax the information I received for three 1099-NEC forms. When I got to the very end, it told me I had errors and asked me a bunch of questions (the 6 digit code for the type of work, whether I had material participation, etc.). After entering all that stuff, I looked at the Schedule C's that were generated and realized I had made an error. But, I cannot find anyway to update the answers to those questions. It wasn't part of the standard flow, only asked me them when it searched for errors. So, I thought, I can just delete that 1099 information, add them back in, then it will ask me the questions again and this time I'd get them correct. So, I did that, but it didn't ask the questions again??? I'm guessing it's using my previous answers even though I deleted the original 1099 input. How do I fix this?

You need to delete the Schedule C forms as well as the 1099s. Also, if the 1099s you received all relate to the same business, you should enter the combined total as Self-employed income rather than separate 1099-NECs.
To delete your Schedule Cs and 1099s please follow these steps:
Hi Alicia,
I'm using TurboTax Deluxe on my Mac, not the online version. I tried to do the search you recommended from within my Mac version and it didn't give me "Jump to Schedule C" option so I wasn't able to take the additional steps you recommended. I appreciate your help.

If searching "Schedule C" doesn't work you can try either "self employment income" (without the hyphen) or "1099-NEC" to get to the input screens.
If you have it (I'm sorry I'm unfamiliar with the Mac version), you can switch to forms mode and choose each Schedule C and delete it in the preview screen. There would be an icon on the upper-right of the screen when you're in your tax return, that is labeled "Forms".
