- Search for 1099-misc and select the Jump-to link.
- Edit your 1099-MISC.
- Continue past the amounts already entered.
- Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC.
- Answer None of these apply on the screen Does one of these uncommon situations apply?
- Answer No, it didn't involve work like my main job for the question Did this involve work that's like my main job?
- Answer You got it in 2020 for the question How often did you get this income?
- Answer No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money for the question Did this involve an intent to earn money?
- Answer the remaining on-screen questions.
- Your 1099-MISC will flow to Other Income.
