Kris
I really appreciate your patience with me, and your technical advice.
I followed your instructions until not finding the option "describe
the reason for the 1099. also don't have "past self employment"
But the option to " Describe the reason for the 1099-misc" screen does not appear after entering my 1099.
When I hit continue it takes me to enter another 1099.
AS I said , it was in last years turbo tax and did add some confusion for me, but I don't find that same
option in this years turbotax.
And looking at this years completed return , there is no entry on line 7a. I'm more convinced this is a bug
with Mac version and 1040-SR.
