I am not doing a workaround. I am just looking for the best solutions for my clients. I asked the clients. Do you work as I dependent contractor. The reply was no. Why do you have a 1099-Nec?

Reply: that is my bonus. My employer gave this form for a bonus a got at the end of the year. 
Now. Tell me. Will you start preparing schedule C. I think that is also wrong.

I will reply to you when I find out more about this issue.but, one more time just because of the form you cannot create schedule C.
