  1. Click the "Wages & Income" tab at the top of page
  2. Scroll down to "Self-employment" 
  3. "Edit/Add"
  4. "Delete" the "business" entry there
  5. "Continue"
  6. Scroll down to "Income from form 1099 Misc"
  7. "Edit/Add"
  8. Check/verify the Form 1099-Misc box information
  9. Enter description "Maternity Leave"
  10. Select "None of these apply"
  11. Select "Didn't involve work like my job"
  12. Select "I got it in 2020"
