Box 1 on your W-2 indicates the amount of Wages you earned. Box 2 shows Federal Tax Withheld. If you didn't make enough wages to have Federal Tax withheld, you should still have an amount in Box 1.
You must report a 1099-Misc in your tax return.
What was the 1099-Misc issued for? Depending on what it was issued for, it could be reported as Self-Employment Income, or as Miscellaneous Income.
If the amount on your 1099-Misc is in Box 3, and this is not self-employment income, enter it as follows:
- "Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC." - It doesn't matter what you enter. Enter a short description such as "Research study." Click Continue. You will see this description used in some of the subsequent questions, but it will not appear on your tax return.
- "Does one of these uncommon situations apply?" - Select the last choice, "None of these apply," and click Continue.
- "Did the Research study involve work that's like your main job?" - Select No and click Continue.
- "How often did you get income for Research study?" - "I got it in 2022" will already be checked. Don't check any of the other boxes. Just click Continue.
- "Did the Research study involve an intent to earn money?" - Select No and click Continue.
