The 1099-NEC form specifically reports Nonemployee Compensation, which you may have gotten in previous years on a 1099-MISC. So, if you worked as a freelancer or contractor last year, you probably got a 1099-NEC reporting how much money you were paid in box 1.
If you got a 1099-MISC, not a 1099-NEC, follow these instructions to enter it in TurboTax.
To enter your 1099-NEC in TurboTax:
- Sign in and open or continue your return.
