Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If the 1099-MISC did not have the payer's (issuer's) FEIN, then do not report it in the 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC interviews; without an FEIN it isn't a valid 1099-MISC and could not have been reported to the IRS.
Follow @DavidF1006 's instructions, and enter it as General Income (Other self-employed income, includes 1099-K, cash, and checks). See the screenshot below for aid in navigation.
You will want to report this income as self-employment income because you did perform a service with the intent to earn money. Here is the best way to do this.
- Log into Turbo Tax.
- If you have already entered the 1099-MISC, delete or remove it wherever you entered it.
- go to federal>income and expenses>Self-Employment>Self-employment income and expenses>start or revisit
- Now you will set up your business profile in the next few screens.
- After setting up your profile, scroll until you get to a screen that says Let's enter the income for your XXXX work.
- Pick the option that says other self-employed income, includes 1099-K, cash, and checks
- When you get to the income screen, Type in "Income from 1099-MISC from Canadian Company" (this is a description, not an interview) and then the amount.
