No, you do not need a W-2 to file if you were not an employee.  If you are an independent contractor, Gig Worker, then you will receive Form 1099-NEC.  You will report your 1099-NEC on Schedule C Profit or Loss from Business

 

To enter your 1099-NEC in Schedule C follow these steps:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Search for schedule c and click the Jump to link in the search results.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  5. On the page titled, Your info, scroll to the bottom and click Looks Good.
  6. Click on Form 1099-NEC on the page Let’s enter the income.
  7. Click continue.
  8. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  9. Enter any relevant expenses to your business.
