What if I didn't get a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC, but made money from self-employment?

If you weren’t paid $600 or more, a business isn’t required to send you a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC, but you still need to report the income.

To enter your self-employment income not reported on a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC:

TurboTax Desktop

Open or continue your return.

Answer the general questions about your business (or select Review or Edit at the Business Summary screen).
At the Enter Business Income That's Not on a 1099-NEC or a 1099-MISC screen, enter the amount in Other Income.

If you made $600 or more, contact the company or individual you worked for to request a 1099-NEC.
