If you received a Form 1099-NEC for non-employee compensation it should flow to a Schedule C for your business.

 

Please follow these steps:

  1. In your return, click Income and Expenses and then click the Start/Revisit box in the Self-Employment section.
  2. On the Your 2020 self-employed work summary screen, click on Edit next to your business. 
  3. Click on the box Add income for this work
  4. On the Let's enter the income for your [XX] work, mark the radio button next to Form 1099-NEC, new IRS form for nonemployee compensation (replaces 1099-MISC)  and click Continue at the bottom of the screen.
  5. Enter the information from the 1099-NEC on the next screen.
  6. You will be brought back to the Here's your [XX] Info screen to select another category of income or expense.
  7. When you are finished with this business, click Done at the bottom of the screen.  You will be asked a few more questions about that business and then brought back to the Income and Expenses screen.
