How do i clear the 'check your entry' schedule c error with 1099-nec Turbo tax online. I cannot make a valid entry and deleting the NEC doesn't seem to fix?

Your best option is to review your entries for Schedule C rather than trying to fix Form 1099-NEC. Work through the self-employment interview to be sure you've answered all the questions, especially in the income section. You don't actually need to enter a 1099-NEC as long as you report the income for your business.

The easiest way to find Schedule C in TurboTax Online is to open your return and click the magnifying glass at the top right side of the TurboTax header. Enter "schedule c", hit Enter, then click on "jump to schedule c". This will take you directly to the start of this section.
