1099MISC

[Bette2]

Good Morning,

I am having a VERY difficult time finishing my tax return. I receive a 1099-MISC for other income every year. My husband received a 1099-MISC for his self-employed business and we use Schedule C.  My 1099-MISC is added to this schedule.

Pleasse help me delete this from Schedule C, it is other income not part of the business.

Thank you

Bette

First, delete the 1099-MISC from your husband's Schedule C.   Search for sch c in the search bar and use the Jump to sch c link to go to his Schedule.  Then in the list of income, delete your 1099-MISC.  This will remove it from his Schedule C and the associated self-employment tax.    

Then re-enter your 1099-MISC, but do not link it to your husband's business.  Instead, tell TurboTax that it is Other Income and not related to your husband's business or related to any work for that matter.   

To enter a 1099-MISC in TurboTax:

1. Open or continue your return, if you're not already in it.
2. Search for 1099-misc and select the Jump-to link.
3. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?
   • If you already entered a 1099-MISC, you'll be on the 1099-MISC Summary screen, in which case select Add Another 1099-MISC.  (Don't worry if you see your husband's income here also, just continue answering the questions)
   • If you need to edit or delete a previously-entered 1099-MISC, select the appropriate button.
4. Enter the info from your form into the corresponding boxes.
