Do you have a business or are you self-employed? Your Form 1099-MISC from Morgan Stanley isn't Self-Employment income. Did Morgan Stanley give you some kind of bonus?
If you're not self-employed or have a business, delete the 1099-MISC and enter it under Other Common Income in the Income & Expenses Section. Refer to the TurboTax Help article How do I edit or delete a 1099-MISC? for navigation instructions to delete.
You can enter the income as “Other Income” so it won’t be subject to self-employment taxes. Follow the steps below:
- Open TurboTax
- Select Federal Taxes
- Select Wages & Income
- select Start by Form 1099-MISC under Other Come Income
- Select Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?
- Follow the prompts to enter your 1099-MISC
- Enter the reason (Morgan Stanley) to Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC
- Select None of these apply to Does one of these uncommon situations apply?
- Select No to it didn’t involve work like your main job
- Make your selection to How often did you get the income?
