Work Name Under 1099mic Income and Expenses

[ni-semere]

Little confused whether or not I leave Work Name and Address Blank in this section. I did contract work for a company.

No, don't leave it blank.

The IRS considers you an independent contractor or self-employed and have your own business if your income is reported on 1099-MISC (Box 7), instead of a W-2.

When going through the TurboTax section to set up your business:

• Enter your Name as the business name,
• Enter your address as the Business Address and,
• Click on NO when asked if you have an Employer Identification Number.
