- In the Income and Expenses of the federal return, click on Form 1099-MISC;
- Click the Edit/Add button
- Select Add a 1099-MISC
- Fill in the answers to the questions and add the amount to Box 3 and click continue
- Fill in a description of the hobby (or you could just say hobby income) and click continue
- Next screen Does one of these uncommon situations apply? Click on any box that applies or click None of these apply and click on continue
- On the next two screens answer No
