If you received a Form 1099-Misc with an amount in Box 3, this is usually considered self-employment income.
A 1099-MISC often but not always relates to self-employment income.
A non-work 1099-MISC would be for things like:
- Prize money
- Lawsuit settlements
- Research studies
- Other
After you enter the info from your form, we’ll ask you a few questions to determine what type of 1099-MISC it is and link it to the correct income section of your return.
