If you are asking about entering something on Schedule 1, what do you want to enter?
I received a 1099Misc that is not for income, it is for a taxable fringe benefit. Along with the 1099 I received instructions to enter it on Schedule 1 line 21, but when I enter it turbo tax counts it as self employment income.
Thanks for your answer. It makes sense to me, however Turbo Tax kept counting it as self-employment income until I reduced the frequency to a single year, rather than 2 years.
Right, the IRS may question recurring income, so be sure it isn't self-employment, and keep whatever you need to show that with your tax file. Thank you for using TurboTax.
