Co-op work is required credit for my college degree. I paid tuition. I received a 1099-NEC for the work. How is this treated?

If you performed work for a company as a co-op student and you received Form 1099-NEC reporting your income, you need to report that income as self-employment income on Schedule C. The company was treating you as an independent contractor and not their employee.

Entering the information on the Form 1099-NEC is only the first step.

Take a look at the following TurboTax article for more information:
