The IRS is concerned most about seeing you report all your income. You can report it as general income on your Schedule C (Business Income). So just ignore the 1099 NEC area and report it as general income. Does that help?

If the form does not apply to you, you can simply remove it from the program.  Here are the steps:

 

In TurboTax online version:

 

1.  Sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off

2.  Select Tax Tools, click on the drop down arrow

3.  Select Tools

4.  Under Other helpful links, choose Delete a form

5.  Select Delete next to Form 1099-NEC and Continue with My Return

 

 

Generally, most taxpayers who receive a Form1099-NEC are considered as self employed by the IRS and required to pay self employment tax.  You will need to file a Schedule C reporting both income and any related expenses.  You will also need to file a Schedule SE to pay your self employment tax.  If you received the form for a non-self employment income, you will enter it as Other Income on your Form 1040.  Follow the prompts in the TurboTax program and it will take you there.  To learn more, click here: 1099-NEC
