After you have entered the amount in box 3 into the 1099-MISC form on TurboTax you click 'continue' and the very next screen says 'Describe the Reason for this 1099-MISC'. Here is where you will enter 'Child Income Pub 929'. Then finish the entry so that it shows the income as income to you.
Then, as detailed above, follow these steps to enter the income as a negative in order to remove it from your return.
go back to the "Wages & Income" tab.
- Scroll down "Less Common Income"
- "Show More"
- "Start/revisit" the "Miscellaneous Income" topic
- "Start/revisit" the "Other reportable income" topic
- Enter "Child Income Pub 929"
- Enter the amount as a "Negative number"
Also as stated above your child will need to enter the amount received on the 1099-MISC as income on their return provided it is greater than $400.
