Deductions & credits

After you enter the Form 1099-MISC you are asked a series of questions to help the program determine how to treat the income on your tax return. In your answers, if you indicate that the work didn't involve work like your main job, you only received the money in 2023 and the receipt didn't involve an intent to earn money, the income will be treated as "other income" on your return, as opposed to self-employment income reported on a schedule C.
