This question about Twitch sending out a 1099-MISC for <$600 keeps coming up in various forums. The answers address how a person should declare, and how to report, if it is a hobby (other income) or some type of a self-employment/business (Schedule C or E). That all makes sense from a tax point-of-view but 2022 TurboTax Deluxe (or quite possibly the IRS forms themselves) forces you into Schedule C or E if you enter a 1099-MISC. In my daughters case, it is a hobby and she received a 1099-MISC for $175. After the 1099-MISC is entered into TurboTax (which is a MUST requirement) there is no option for Hobby, and if you try to fake the software by bypassing Schedule C or E and enter the $175 manually into 'other income', TurboTax generates an error and you can't proceed. So the question is, how do you USE TurboTax to report 1099-MISC as hobby income so that the software won't flag it as an error?
