Do I need to link my 1099-NEC to this business (Schedule C)?

Check the box to link a Form 1099-NEC that has income for this business (Schedule C). Then the income from your 1099-NEC will show up as income for your business.

For example, let's say you entered a 1099-NEC with $2,000 of income in Box 1. If the 1099-NEC belongs to this Schedule C business, then you'd check the box to link the 1099-NEC to this business. Then the $2,000 of income would be included in gross receipts on this Schedule C.
