Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Try deleting the Form 1099-MISC that you have already entered and re-enter it using the steps below.  After you go through the first few steps, you should see a list of Form 1099-MISC where you can delete the one you have already entered.  Click the trash can icon or the Delete button beside it and re-enter it.  Deleting the old one should remove the links to Schedule C and allow you to simply report the income by following the steps below.

To include the 1099-MISC as a part of your tax return, follow these steps:

• On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
• This opens a box where you can type in “1099-MISC” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
• The search results will give you an option to “Jump to 1099-MISC"
• Click on the blue “Jump to 1099-MISC” link
• Answer Yes you did receive a 1099-MISC
• Fill in the details from your 1099-MISC then click Continue
• Provide a short description for the reason you received the 1099-MISC then click Continue
• On the next screen titled, “Does one of these uncommon situations apply?” choose the last option, None of these apply and then click Continue
• On the next screen asking if the 1099 involved work like your main job, answer No and click Continue
• On the next screen, check the box that you received the income in 2021 and then click Continue
• Finally, choose “No, it didn’t involve an intent to earn money” and click Continue
