Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You need to identify that the 1099-MISC "did not involve work like my main job" and that you got it in 2022 and no other years (even if you did) so TurboTax will recognize the income as other income instead of self-employment income.

1. Within your return, click on Tax Tools in the black menu on the left side of the screen.
