It depends on how you answer the questions. You must be careful.
- Log into turbo tax
- Go to federal>wages and income>other common income
- Form 1099-MISC>revisit
- Select edit next to the 1099-MISC
- Scroll through the entry and then the program will ask Describe the reason for the 1099-Misc
- As you move through the screen, the program will ask if this is like your main job. If you say yes, it will expect you to fill out a schedule C. For this purpose, say no.
- Next it will ask how often did you receive this income. If this was the first year you received it, indicate so.
- Now it will ask you if you have the intent to earn money. Indicate no.
- if this is done correctly, it will not ask for a Schedule C because this will appear as OTHER INCOME in line 8 Schedule 1 in your return.
