Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, there is not a bug in the software. Form 1099-MISC is frequently used for business income but that does not apply to your situation.

 

Here is how to enter this so that it does not end up as self-employment.

  1. With your return open, select Federal from the left side navigation.
  2. On the top tabs, select Wages & Income
  3. Scroll down to Less Common Income section and select Start or Revisit next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
  4. On the next screen, select Start or Revisit next to Other Reportable Income
  5. Answer Yes on the Any Other Taxable Income? screen
  6. On the next screen, enter a description and enter the total US dollar amount
  7. Continue with the onscreen interview until complete.
