If you received a 1099-MISC, you would enter it this way.
Take the following steps:
- Sign in to TurboTax Online, click Continue your return, then pick up where I left off (if you are using TurboTax CD/ Download, then just open your return on your computer);
- Click on Federal Taxes at the top of the screen;
- Scroll down the page to the last section titled: Other Common Income;
- Select start or update next to the topic titled Income from Form 1099-Misc;
- Answer Yes, to the questions Did you get a 1099-Misc?;
- Enter the information from your 1099-Misc;
- Enter Retention Bonus for a reason for the 1099-Misc;
- For uncommon situations, select None of these apply;
- You will then be asked if the bonus involved work that's like your main job, say No.
If you entered this any other way, make sure to delete the other entries.
