Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You use YOUR address.

Although it may be news to you that you “have a business” (and most of the other people who get their first 1099-MISC); The IRS considers anything in box 7 of 1099-MISC to be self employment income. Enter the 1099-Misc income, at Other Common income / income from a 1099-MISC . TurboTax (TT) will complete Schedule C or C-EZ for you and allow you to deduct any expenses associated with this income. You'll also have to pay self employment tax (social security & Medicare) on any profits greater than $400. These types of payments are frequently done this way. Your "employer" is not the only one.

You do not need to enter every 1099-Misc that you got, unless you want them to be part of your pdf file. After entering the first one to get the business part of the program started, you will get a screen where you can enter them as line items or just use a total.
