I paid an independent contractor over $600 and needed to file a 1099-NEC for them. Form already sent to them and IRS however, TurboTax is wanting me to fill out 1099NEC worksheet. Only asking for income/how much I got paid and not how much I paid them. Any idea how to fix?

TurboTax should be asking you if you paid any contractors and need to issue 1099s in the expenses section of the Sch C under "contract labor" near the bottom of the list.

 

Then, select continue and it asks you to enter the total amount you paid your contractors as follows:

 

"Let's enter the contract labor expenses for your self emp got 1099 nec work

If you paid contract laborers to work for you during the year, enter those amounts below.

Some examples include:

  • Subcontractor payments
  • Independent contractor payments
  • Other contract labor expenses

Help me prepare and file W-2s and 1099s

Enter your contract labor expenses"

 

Then it gives you the link and information for preparing the 1099s
