Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If this amount is reported in Box 3 of the 1099-Misc you receive, here is how to report it so that is does not appear as Self-Employment Income

 

Enter the 1099-Misc

On the next screen Describe what the payment was for

On the next screen select "none of these apply"

On the next screen select "No it didn't involve work like my main job"

On the next screen select "I got it in 2019" ONLY 

On the next screen select No, it didn't involve intent to earn money

TurboTax will put the amount on line 21 of form 1040 as other income
