Turbotax is trying to force me to take an incorrect deduction. I'm trying to report 1099-MISC income. It's NOT business income. It's NOT employment income. It's income for Crypto rewards/staking. Coinbase recommends filing a 1099-MISC. If I use a 1099-MISC, Turbotax forces me to call it employment income or business income. If "business income," it forces me to take a "Qualified business deduction." This is wrong and inaccurate. I have been on the phone for hours and everyone I have spoken with has been completely useless. SHAME on this company for making it impossible for its customers to accurately report their tax income and forcing them to move heaven and earth to even attempt to do so. I'm ready to hire CPA.
I hope someone here has a better explanation.
