You should report this income under foreign income, not on the 1099-MISC screen. You would only qualify for the foreign income exclusion if you lived and worked in another country.
You may also qualify for the Foreign Tax Credit if you paid, accrued, or owe taxes on foreign income that is also subject to U.S. income tax.
To report your foreign income, please follow the steps below:
- Open your return.
- Search for foreign income.
- Answer Yes for the question Did you make money outside of the US?
- Click on A Form 1099-MISC for the question What Form Was Foreign Income Reported on?
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
Please also make sure you delete your previous entry of your 1099-MISC.
For more information, please see Do I need to report foreign income? and What does or doesn't qualify for the Foreign Tax Credit?
