TurboTax 24 won't let me enter a 1099 NEC income. They tell me to search for 1099 NEC with the magnifying glass and jump to, but searching just takes me to some digital assistant for help with forms and I cant find the 1099NEC to enter the income as a contractor for a company. Has anyone found a way to do this.

Actually you can just enter it as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income. You don't need to get a 1099MISC, 1099NEC or 1099K. Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash. Only the total goes to schedule C. You should be entering the income from your own records.

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to Premium version. Or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs. You can buy the Desktop Download program here,
