Investors & landlords

Are you entering in the information from the 1099-MISC in the Box 1 entry of TurboTax?  This is labeled "Rents".  If you have other income to report, it would typically be in Box 3.  

 

You could alternatively skip the 1099-MISC input, and enter the information into the self-employment section directly- here are the steps:

 

  1. Navigate to Federal > Wages & Income > Self-employment income and expenses > Add/Edit
  2. Edit your business
  3. Scroll to Income, then select Add income for this work
  4. Choose 1099-MISC as the type of income and answer the interview questions that follow.
