OK, thanks to everyone. I think I finally have it down now. We have to start thinking differently.....we are not entering 1099 info into TT for IRS purposes, we are doing it for TT so that the program can place the income on the forms. That being said, I can manually enter this data myself without doing the 1099 data entry......just like I would if I were using paper forms! In my case, that would be entering the income directly on the Schedule F as taxable income (agricultural payments from 1099-G's end up in the same place). If I just do the data entry of the 1099, and it has the income as a box 6, taxable grant, TT records this as "other income". This is ok I guess, if you have no associated costs because you skip out on SE tax.....but you can't write off your associated costs so it should go the either C or F. Getting this into the Schedule F made a huge difference in this years taxes! Thanks again to everyone
