Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, that is one option.  After selecting Miscellaneous Income, you will see other options, select Other reportable income. On the screen where you enter a description and the amount, you may see information indicating that a 1099-Misc should not be reported in this section.  Ignore that statement and continue through the application.

 

The other option is to report your 1099-Misc in the section Other Common Income.  Other Common Income has an option specifically for Form 1099-Misc.  There are a few more screens to work through here versus the Less Common Income section; however, the screen(s) are more closely aligned with your Form 1099-Misc.  Please note that when working through the Other Common Income section, you will see a screen asking whether your 1099-Misc represents an intent to earn income/money, and while it may seem counterintuitive to select No, that is the response you need to select.  If you select Yes, TurboTax will report this income as self-employment income, and based on the comments in your post, your 1099-Misc does not represent income from self-employment.  

 

Either of these options will produce the result you want.  Although the latter option has a few more screens.  Your 1099-Misc income should appear on line 8 of Form 1040.
