If you have income in Box 6, for medical and health payments, follow these instructions to enter into TurboTax:
Sign in and click Take Me To My Return if not already signed in to your return.
-
Federal (left side menu) >>
-
Wages & Income (top menu) >>
- I'll choose what I work on OR Show all Income types >>
-
Self-Employment >>
- Answer YES to the 'Did you have self-employment income and expenses?' question >>
- Continue through the business set-up screens/interview >>
- Click on 'Looks Good' after reviewing your general business information (make edits if needed) >>
- Choose 1099-MISC when you get to the income entry >>
- Under box 7, you may 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. See image below.
****You can also enter the amount in Box 7 instead of Box 6, as TurboTax and the IRS treat Box 6 and Box 7 income the same (self-employment). The entry process is the same as the above instructions.
The only reason its not in Box 7 is because of the line of work you are in. The IRS just requires medically-related income to go in that box. Per their own instruction, the income goes on Schedule C. Medical payments can be reported in Box 6 or 7 on your tax return since the result will be the same.
