The 1099-MISCs are for trusts granted by a family member who is in relatively good health apart from some cognitive decline. Therefore, the 1099-MISCs will likely continue for quite a few years. So when TurboTax asks if I will get another 1099-MISC next year, I answer yes. It gives no option to say the 1099-MISC isn't from a business involving an intent to earn money. Once I do this, I see TurboTax's "Federal Tax Due" increase because SE taxes owed are added. The CPA that is doing the tax returns for the trust sends the 1099-MISC to document the expenses incurred by the trust. Because I'm a family member helping a relative, not a professional trustee, is there a way to report the 1099-MISC to avoid the SE tax? In TurboTax Deluxe 2024, the "Less Common Income > Misc. Income" section says don't report 1099-MISC there.
