Investors & landlords

Enter your daughter's TikTok income as Tax Champ @Critter-3 says. 1099-MISC income normally goes to the rental (Schedule E) or self-employment (Schedule C) forms because it is income from a business and has different rules.

 

That's why TurboTax says not to enter a 1099-MISC as Other Taxable Income.

 

Your daughter is probably not running a business on TikTok so it's "hobby" money. It's still taxable, but it's not a self-employed income. 

 

For description your can just say TikTok income and enter the amount. If you're worried about the 1099, you can say "1099-MISC from TikTok" so the IRS will know you reported the form.
