If your 1099-MISC has an amount in box 7, you should have gotten a 1099-NEC form instead. You may want to request a 1099-NEC from the payer so you have the right form for your records, but you don’t need it to file your tax return.
Follow these steps to enter your info:
- Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
- Search for self employed income
- Select the Jump to link at the top of the search results.
- Answer Yes on the Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? screen.
- Select 1099-NEC
- Answer the questions and continue through to enter the information from your form.
- When you get to where you'll enter your form info, find the amount in box 7 of your 1099-MISC and enter this amount in TurboTax in box 1 for the 1099-NEC.
- Enter the amount from box 4 of your 1099-MISC in box 4 for the 1099-NEC (leave blank if you don’t have an amount in box 4).
- If you have anything in boxes 16-18 of your 1099-MISC, enter those amounts in the corresponding boxes 5-7 for the 1099-NEC.
