I received a 1099-NEC from some contracting work I did for 2 events. I do not own a business however, so how do I file the Schedule C when it asks for my business. Please advise!

    You can file your Schedule C under your name and your social security number without naming your business.

     

    To do this in TurboTax Online you can follow these steps:

    1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax
    2. Search for self employed income (use this exact phrase, don't add a hyphen) and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results
    3. Answer Yes, I did on the Tell us about your self-employment work screen and enter what type of work it was
    4.  Answer the OK - how do you see your XXX work?
      • If you answer this with It's a side job TurboTax does not prompt you for a business name
