I have a similar situation (my husband received a 1099-MISC for royalty money from his deceased father). The steps below didn't work. After these steps:
Type "other Income" in the search window (or in the Search Topic window for desktop versions)
Click on "jump to other Income" (or "other income" in the Search Topic results)
Enter the information from your Form 1099-MISC, and click on Continue
The next questions are:
- investment income from property you own (no)
- Royalty income from your business, including artist royalties or operating a natural resources business (Schedule C)
Neither of these apply. If I pick #2, then it prompts me to fill out as if he owns a business.
I don't see these options:
Enter a description and click on Continue
On the screen with "Does one of these uncommon situations apply?", indicate "None of these apply"
Answer "No..." to "Did the [Description] involve work that's like your main job?"
Answer "I got it in 2020" when asked "How often did you get income for [Description]?"
Answer "No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money."
