Hi, I'm having a similar problem here when trying to file. I am a graduate student that is compensated through a 1099-NEC for my stipend. I am NOT self-employed and was told to make sure that this is not listed as a self-employment or on a Schedule C, since that will incur self-employment taxes that do not apply to me. When I indicate there are no deductions, TT does not re-classify this 1099-NEC as business income, which is great.
However, when I enter the amount I've contributed to my Roth IRA, it says I have "excess contribution" because it is not counting the amount listed under the 1099-NEC as income. Any advice here? Can I just not include the Roth IRA on my taxes? I was under the impression that it should not change the taxes owed anyway, however when I delete the Roth IRA entry, it reduces the amount of taxes I owe in the top corner.
