Get your taxes done using TurboTax

To enter your 1099-MISC with amounts in box 5 for 'fishing boat proceeds', follow this path:

Sign in and click Take Me To My Return if not already in your return. 

  • Federal Taxes (Personal in SE) >>
  • Wages & Income >>
  • Other Common Income >>
  • Form 1099-MISC >>  

Under box 7, you will need to put a checkmark in the box that says 'My form has other info in boxes 1-18' in order to view the entire form.  If you enter the form into a different section other than ''Other Common Income'', you may not see the box to place the checkmark that will show box 5.  See image below; this will transfer your income to a Schedule C.  

FOR A SHORTCUT:  In the Search box (upper right of the program), search "1099 misc" and select the "Jump to" link.  This will take you to the correct page to enter your 1099-MISC under Other Common Income.
