Trying to figure out income from deceased actor husband’s residuals and royalties

whatakik2 · ‎February 16, 2020

My husband was an actor and passed away 10/2018. This year, I kept getting errors when all his residual and royalty income was under a business expense.

I moved it following instructions posted by Irene2805 in response to a similar question to less common income:

Report the residuals as Miscellaneous Income, using these steps:

Click on Federal > Wages & Income
In the Less Common Income section , click on theStart/Update box next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
On the Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income screen, click the Start/Update box next to Other reportable income.
On the screen, Any Other Taxable Income? click the Yes box.
On the next screen, Other Taxable Income, enter a description and the amount. Click Continue.
The amount entered will appear on line 7 of the 1040.

But now I have different errors on the Miscellaneous Income 1099 form: For Royalties I have to pick either Schedule C or E??? Or Residuals in Box 3 I have to pick either C or F???

I would appreciate some help!

Thanks!
