Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You would enter that Form 1099-MISC as OTHER INCOME using the directions in the FAQ below since it was not self-employment income:

You can report it as other income on Form 1040 line 21. Here's how to enter it in TurboTax.

  • Click the Federal Taxes tab
  • Click Wages & Income
  • On the screen "Your 2016 Income Summary," scroll all the way down to the last section, "Less Common Income."
  • Click the Start or Update button for the last topic, "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C."
  • On the next screen, "Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income," scroll down and click the Start or Update button for the last topic, "Other reportable income."
  • The next screen asks, "Did you receive any other taxable income." Click Yes.
  • On the next screen, "Other Taxable Income," enter a description and the amount. Click Continue.
  • On the next screen click Done.

The income will be reported on Form 1040 line 21 with the description that you entered.
