Deductions & credits

You cannot file this on your return. Each child will need to file a return to report the 1099-MISC for unearned income that is in their name. This is not considered self-employment income.

 

You would report the 1099-MISC as Other Income by following these steps:

 

  1. Open the return.
  2. Click on Federal Taxes.
  3. Go to Wages & Income
  4. Scroll to the bottom under Less Common Income and select Start (or Update) for Miscellaneous Income.
  5. Choose the appropriate category and enter your Other Income
