Question

Can I access 1040-schedule 1 directly? I have income to report for 1-time service. IRS says to report it on Sch1 other income rather than as self-employment. Help?

Payer issued 1099-NEC but IRS recommends otherwise since this is a small amount and 1-time service.

If it is a one-time incident, you do not have to pay SE tax, but it is still taxable income. You can't directly enter information onto the form, you must go through the interview process. When you enter the description, be sure to say it was a 1099-NEC and you qualify for sporadic use.

You can add it as Other Income.

I'll choose what I work on

Other reportable income and you can enter your own description(s) and amount(s).
