I know that this has been asked before, but I have seen two different answers. Some say that you need to run the amount through Schedule C and treat it as self-employement. Other say that you should the other income in the income, SS benefits and alimony section. My client is retired and had a part time job and received a 1099-NEC with box 1 being the only amount. They do not own a business. I just want to make sure I am entering information correctly. That way I know whether my client will owe or not.

Thank you,
