Reporting tips and overtime from 1099 NEC and 1099-K

Hi online community, 

Does anyone how an idea of how to report tips in the software from a 1099-NEC or a 1099-K. I think I figured the tips reporting from w-2s. I am talking specifically how to input the amount of tips and overtime from 1099s. When I go to Sch 1-A those fields, for entering the information from the 1099s seems to be inactive. I know the 1099 will not show the amount of qualified tips and overtime directly, at least for 2025, but I am trying to figure out how to enter in the software. Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

How is a 1099-NEC non-employee paid qualifying overtime?

Hi I thought so too. But it seems that because it is a transition year and if the contractor or self-employed keep a working log, they seem to allow some income as overtime. I may be wrong, but I thought so too.

The 2025 program isnt fully working yet, if fields are inactive, they may not be that way by the time the software is ready for use.

PS I havent even looked at the program for any of the new stuff for 2025 yet.

I think that uber/lyft 1099 reports mention tips.  Anyone else, good luck.

And we should all plan to enter the info directly into the program and not use the tools like 1099-worksheets for entry. (since we already know the law, forms, etc unlike folks who think that they can buy software before/instead of learning tax)

"They" ?  Yes, I guess I overlooked that source.

If a 1099-K recipient can be considered an overtime worker, then I'm glad I don't have any OnlyFans content creators as clients.  As a NY Times columnist asks today, 

"President Trump’s promise for “no tax on tips” has raised important practical questions for the Internal Revenue Service. What is the exact definition of a tip? Who typically receives them? Are photos of bare feet a type of pornography?"

The article is behind a paywall but you can imagine it as easily as you can read it.  

As for how to inform employees of how much overtime they earned this year, the suggestion that "a third of what's shown on your final pay statement" may work for some but not all.  I remember from my college days, when I was a union worker (American Newspaper Guild), sometimes overtime was time and a half, and sometimes it was double time when combined with holiday pay.  We worked a lot of holidays.  But the law says only FLSA-required O/T is eligible, so that's the 50% part.  FLSA also says it applies only to employees, not independent contractors.  But who cares what the law says, these days?
