Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The income is in box 7. Per the instructions on the IRS 1099 form for box 7:
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1099msc--2019.pdf
"Shows nonemployee compensation. If you are in the trade or business of catching fish, box 7 may show cash you received for the sale of fish. If the amount in this box is SE income, report it on Schedule C or F (Form 1040), and complete Schedule SE (Form 1040). You received this form instead of Form W-2 because the payer did not consider you an employee and did not withhold income tax or social security and Medicare tax. If you believe you are an employee and cannot get the payer to correct this form, report this amount on the line for “Wages, salaries, tips, etc.” of Form 1040 (or Form 1040NR). You also must complete Form 8919 and attach it to your return. If you are not an employee but the amount in this box is not SE income (for example, it is income from a sporadic activity or a hobby), report this amount on the “Other income” line of Schedule 1 (Form 1040) (or Form 1040NR)."
Wouldn't this imply that income in box 7 is not necessarily self-employment, so if the honorarium was reported as income on box 7, that would not necessarily be an error? Should turbo-tax always treat income on box 7 as self-employment income?
Thanks.
