Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. However, this is not what I have encountered when I opened form1099-Misc and filled in this payment received as other income. The payment received as the beneficiary of a deceased relative was in fact not in the reason list. After answering all the questions like "none of these apply" or "did not involve work", the software directed me to report this other income as business income. That's why I eventually went to "forms" to look for 1099-Misc and report this as other income as shown on line 8z of Schedule 1. The case was closed, but I'm sure there is a better way to get this done nicely.  

It would be wonderful if TurboTax can add this payment as the beneficiary of a deceased relative as one of the reasons so that this will be then reported as other income on line 8z of Schedule 1. I hope my post will help those who happen to have other income in 1099-Misc.
