Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I cannot test on a Mac, but the programs are similar.

There are several sections to enter  a 1099-MISC.

I think you entered it under Self-Employment, but you need to scroll down past that to "Other Common Income"

Please follow these directions carefully. They should take you to a different set of screens to enter the 1099-MISC. 

Afterwords, you will need to delete the original entry. 

It's confusing, but I think you'll find it, be sure to click "Show all income" if needed to open all the options.

You might needs to answer a bunch of Yes/No questions first, so try not to get side-tracked with those. 

Click Federal

Click Wages & Income

Click “See All Income” if needed

Scroll down (PAST SELF-EMPLOYMENT) to “Other Common Income”

Click “Show more”

Scroll down to “Form 1099-MISC”

Click Start

Enter the 1099-MISC and Continue

On the “Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC” screen type in something like “Re-reimbursement” and Continue

Select “None of these apply” and Continue

Select “No, it didn’t involve work like main job” and continue through the interview selecting the appropriate answers for a one-time payment. 

The amount from the 1099-MISC will be reported as Other income on the 1040 line 7a, not as Self-employment
