Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Assuming you have a 1099-MISC with an amount in Box 3 that is not self-employment, delete the entry you started and then reenter the form as follows to get it to show up as Other Income (Line 8 of Form 1040) not subject to self-employment taxes:

 

  1. Go to Other Common Income - in the Personal or Wages and Income section (see image below) - don't enter in Business or Self-Employment section
  2. Income From 1099-MISC
  3. Answer YES or Add Another 1099-MISC if you have others entered (you can delete the one linked to a business here too)
  4. Enter the Payer name, Fed ID #, and Box 3 amount
  5. Describe the reason > imputed income, research study, other taxable income, etc.
  6. None of these apply
  7. No - doesn't involve my main job
  8. I got it in 2022 - - Mark only this box - you should only have 1 checkmark on this screen
  9. No - doesn't involve the intent to earn money
  10. Done - no schedule C required

 

If your situation is different, please advise @Kyitos    Also note, if you already started a Schedule C, the Schedule C and the previously entered 1099-MISC will need to be deleted to remove the error.
