Get your taxes done using TurboTax

To enter Form 1099-MISC, in general, follow these steps: 

  • Inside your TurboTax program, enter 1099misc in the search box and
  • Select the Jump to link in the search results.

This will take you to the interview for Form 1099-MISC entered as Other Common Income.

 

However, if this is a Legal Settlement and taxable, be sure to describe the reason as Lawsuit Settlement and select This was money from a lawsuit settlement on the page entitled: Does one of these uncommon situations apply?

 

For more details, see: Are legal settlements taxable?
