My son received a 1099-NEC for a summer internship. Can this be filed as ordinary income or business income? What form should I be using?

If his income was reported on a 1099NEC, he has self-employment income, which is treated as if he was an independent contractor. He will owe self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.

You will need to use online Premium software or any version of the CD/download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.
