It is asking for my 1099-nec info in "personal income", but that income is already accounted for in the "business income" section. How does this work and what should I do?

It depends. If you already included the full amount of the income from the 1099-NEC on your business schedule, then you can keep your 1099-NEC with your tax papers and do not need to enter it again.  It's better for you to make sure it is included on your business Schedule C, than to include it twice by accident.

 

You are only required to report it as self employment income and doing the actual document entry is not required.

Go to the Personal Income section, Other Common Income and edit the 1099-NEC to identify the form with your business.

So I include that income in "business expenses" along with non 1099-nec income, then also record the 1099-nec in Personal Income. Then when they are associated with my business, it will not count that income twice?
