reporting 1099-NEC

The Literacy Council of Manatee County Inc. (non-profit) pays me to teach English to Spanish speaking Adults for a period of time each year.  

I am not a self employed business.  How do I report my 1099-NEC?

You may be considered a self-employed business by the IRS dependent on the facts and circumstances of the services you provide. TurboTax will help you determine that when you enter your Form 1099-NEC in the Wages and Income section, then Other Common Income, then Income from Form 1099-NEC.

You said that you do this "for a period of time each year." So it's not just a one-time activity. That means that it is a self-employed business, even if you didn't think of it that way.
