If you paid a contractor in the course of your business and issued a form 1099-NEC, you can report it as a business expense on form 1065. You can categorize it according to the nature of the expense (for example Repairs and maintenance on line 11).
You can also list on line 21 - Other deductions and describe it as Payments to contractors.
