So here's my situation. I am using Home & Business edition because I am an employee but I have a part-time photography business (sole proprietor). So I normally get a W2 and 1099's depending the situation. This year I also participated in a Research Study which the compensation exceeded the $600 max limit from the IRS (I got 1099-MISC). When I use TurboTax it is moving the 1099-MISC for the research money to the business side, even though they are not related and also have explicitly selected that the income was not from my side business. Obviously I am not an expert but when reported in the personal side my taxes are not as high as in the business side, which is prompting for an specific 1040 sch C. Any idea if this is the correct way to report it even though is not part of my business? (nor intended to make it a "professional" thing).
