Get your taxes done using TurboTax

CARES Act grant money reported to you on box 6 of Form 1099-G is money that is entered under Other Common Income as Other 1099-G Income unless it is specifically excluded from taxability as PPP or EIDL advance funds.

 

From the left menu, select Federal, which will open to Income & Expenses. Scroll down to find the Other Common Income section and select Show More.

 

Select Other 1099-G Income and enter your details, identifying it as a taxable grant. This is appropriate for funds used personally.

 

Otherwise, you can report this as other income on Schedule C in the COMMON INCOME section under Other self-employed income, includes 1099-K, cash, and checks.
