Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can report something listed in box 7 as other income.  This allows you to report income reported in box 7 as other income not subject to self-employment.

 

Take the following steps: 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax Online, click Continue your return, then pick up where I left off (if you are using TurboTax CD/ Download, then just open your return on your computer);
  2. Click on Federal Taxes at the top of the screen;
  3. Scroll down the page to the last section titled: Other Common Income and click show more;
  4. Select start or update next to the topic titled Form 1099-Misc;
  5. Answer Yes, to the questions Did you get a 1099-Misc?
  6. Enter the information from your 1099-Misc.
  7. Enter Honorarium for the reason for the 1099-Misc
  8. None of the uncommon situations will probably apply and if so, you can click None of these apply
  9. Select No, it didn't involve work that's like your main job.
  10. Indicate how often you get this income.
  11. Select No, the honorarium did not involve an intent to earn money.

This will add the income to Line 7a on your 1040 form.  The income will be subject to income tax, but not self-employment tax.
