1099-nec

[Tokyo1964]

I received a 1099-nec form for a non employee compensation I received from my child’s school district.  Her school does not offer a bus so they give us $ to pay for the transportation.  When filing, the options for the type of work don’t apply because this want a job.  How do I file this?

Here is how to report the 1099-MISC to not create a business:

• Navigate to Federal > Wages & Income > Other Common Income> Form 1099-MISC> Start or Revisit
• Enter the 1099-MISC as printed, Continue
• Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC: "Transportation Rebate" or similar.
• Select None of these uncommon situations apply, then continue
• Select No, it didn’t involve work that's like your main job and continue
• The next screen asks how often you get income from this source.  Select only the year of this specific 1099-MISC, 2024.

After entering your 1099-NEC, you will encounter a screen titled "Does one of these uncommon situations apply".  Check the box "This is not money earned as an employee or self employed individual; it is from sporadic activity or hobby".

Checking that box will put the income on line 8 of Schedule 1 as "other income".

When I enter the info for the 1099-misc, it only offers the screen to input the payers name, ein number and so on. And box 1.  Is for rent, box 2 royalties, box 3 other income.  Am I missing something?

I finally got to the correction page.  Thank you!
