Where would a 1099-NEC be entered? It is not for self-employment but for Connecticut's Hero Pay from last year, through public partnerships llc.

Received a 1099-NEC from public partnerships llc related to last years connecticut hero pay, aka essential worker pay of $1,000. How would this non employee compensation be entered? As far as I can tell it's only enterable as self employed following turbotax guidelines.

You would enter the Form 1099-NEC in the Other Common Income section of TurboTax, and then Income form 1099-NEC. If you feel the income is not self-employment income, you can check the box you will see that says This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from sporadic activity or hobby (this is not common.) However, it is possible the IRS will see the income as self-employment income, especially since it is related to your job. That may be why it was reported on Form 1099-NEC, which is normally reserved for self-employment income.

So basically it is self employed tax and treated like it is a self employment job, even though its a $ amount awarded for having the separate job? Entering it under the tradional spot for 1099-NEC self employment was the right way. I'm glad that it was done correctly, and what you said makes sense. Thanks for the advice.

So when you entered this amount as a not common sporadic form of income, did your tax return amount change? Did the 1,000.00 end up getting taxed or not?
