How do I link my 1099-misc to schedule c? The "review" keeps stopping me at box 7 of the 1099 and asking me to double-click on schedule c

I suggest deleting the 1099-Misc and starting from scratch.

1.  Re-enter the 1099-Misc under "Other Common Income". 

2.  If you look at the "Income & Expenses" tab you will probably see that the "Self-employment" now "needs review".  

3.  Click the "review" and you should see the description you used for the 1099-Misc.

4.  "Edit" that item and answer the interview questions. 

That should now tie the two and clear the "needs review" from the self-employment section which in turn clears the "Smart Check" review error.

Can you tell me what the work around was for this?  It does not let me double click anything?

To correct this issue go back to the Federal Section, Wages and Income and go through the entries for your 1099-Misc form.  In that section you can connect the 1099-Misc to Schedule C.

I was having the same issue.  Delete it and re-do the 1099 Misc.  I had to make sure to select where the money came from.  For me, I get money from General Motors on top of my pay.  I had to select Manufacturers bonus-or something to that effect.

Tried that. Same problem

My 1099-MISC is not from being self employed, it is from an additional job, and is in the "Your Income" section.

I have deleted it and put it in again, and deleted the "self employed" review section, so that it isn't in there twice. Same problem is happening. This loop is maddening.

"In that Section you can connect to the Schedule C"

HOW?

[lacheporter]

 i deleted the business and entered my NEC's under other common income. Worked fine. For some reason it doesn't like businesses or I messed that part up.

Here's another option. Instead of reporting your 1099-MISC on Schedule C, you can instead report it on Schedule 1. To do that, delete your 1099-MISC, and then report that income under "Less Common Income > Miscellaneous Income > Other reportable income". Then under the description, you can type in something like "Other Income from box 3 of 1099-Misc" and put in the amount. That way it ends up in Schedule 1 under Part 1: Additional Income > Other Income.

I followed these steps and was able to successfully file my Federal return.

I'm stuck at BOX 10 because it says "

Required: double-click to select the Schedule C on which to report this income:

Schedule C"

HELP!! This is driving me crazy

Type 'Schedule C' in the Search area, then click on 'Jump to schedule c'.   If you have already set up your Business, choose EDIT next to your business name.

Scroll down to 'Add Income' in TurboTax Online. 

TurboTax Desktop will take you through several screens before asking if you received income on a 1099-Misc after choosing EDIT.
