Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Did they put your disability in box 7 in the 1099-MISC? They should have put it into Box 3.

 

If they put it in Box 7, then you can choose to change that to Box 3 so that you won't force a Schedule C, but note that you might get a letter from the IRS wondering why you changed the form. Be ready to explain it to them.

 

So, after you file, you might call the organization that sent you the disability payments and ask them why they put your distribution in box 7.
