A 1099-NEC worker is reporting that he is seeing a nearly double tax increase after entering both his W-2 salary and the 1099-NEC income. I believe TurboTax is taxing the entire income being reported and not only the 1099 income. Is there a way to correct this?

Is the person who had W-2 income and 1099NEC income aware that the income on the 1099NEC is self-employment income for which he pays for Social Security and Medicare?

Thank you; yes, but the taxed amount is displaying higher than the estimated 15.3 percent. It is at about 30 percent, which makes me think it is taxing his entire income.
