Retirement tax questions
In order to contribute to a Roth IRA you have to have "earned income." If you did not receive a W-2 or 1099, you can enter the income as Other Income, using these steps:
- Click on Federal > Wages & Income
- In the Less Common Income section , click on the Start/Update box next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
- On the Miscellaneous Income screen, click on the Start/Revisit box next to Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099.
- On the Any Other Taxable Income? screen, click the Yes box.
- Enter the income on the Other Taxable Income screen, along with a description and click Continue.
- You will be brought to the Other Miscellaneous Income Summary. If you have no more miscellaneous income to report, click Done.
