Get your taxes done using TurboTax
There seem to be 2 completely different situations in this thread, with some users:
- needing to link the 1099-MISC to Schedule C (business income w/ Self-Employment tax)
- and other users that have a 1099-MISC that should not be linked to any Schedule C (Other Income - no Self-Employment tax applied)
In the first scenario, the form is generating an error message referencing the MWP box being checked when it isn't. This IS currently being addressed. @wshenhz
You can either wait until it is fully resolved OR you can use the 1099-NEC workaround. The income should have been reported on a 1099-NEC and it will be reported in the same place as if you entered it as a 1099-MISC. The IRS will see the amount on Line 1 of Schedule C whether it is a 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC; both forms go to the same line. See the Schedule C image below. @cookiejp @tuanojc
In the 2nd scenario, your income should not be linked to any Schedule C, so the error message does not apply. If the income is not self-employment, you should choose the correct box on the 'uncommon situations' question. If you choose 'None of these Apply', you will get 3 follow-up questions. How you answer those questions will determine whether TurboTax puts the income on Schedule C (business income w/ SE tax) or on the Other Income line (no SE tax). The 3 follow-up questions should be answered as follows if the income is NOT self-employment:
- Did it involve work like your main job? NO
- How often did you get the income? Only in 2022, only one box checked
- Did it involve an intent to earn money? NO
Answering the above 3 questions any other way indicates the income is Self-Employment and it will be linked to a Schedule C with the issue in scenario #1. Self-Employment tax is applied to all income on Schedule C
@KyleP1 - What is the income in box 3 for? How did you answer the ''Do any of these uncommon situations apply?'' question? See scenario #2 - the error is only affecting those reporting Self-Employment income on Schedule C.
Is my income from self-employment?
