How to get content in "Other Income" on 1040, Schedule C?
I got income reported on a 1099-NEC from a former employer. It's not business income and not recurring.
Reading the IRS guidelines it says:
"You received this form instead of Form W-2 because the payer did not consider you an employee and did not withhold income tax or social security and Medicare tax."
...
If you are not an employee but the amount in box 1 is not self employment (SE) income (for example, it is income from a sporadic activity or a hobby), report the amount shown in box 1 on the "Other income” line (on Schedule 1 (Form 1040))."
I cannot find a way to get TurboTax to report it this way. No matter where I go it ends up as business income (box 3 of Schedule 1), but I need it in box 8z.
Any hints where I go in the program to make it show up there?
