Retirement tax questions

Did Florida issue you an information return such as a 1099?

 

You can enter Form 1099-MISC and identify that it was not income from business profit so that it doesn't get misclassified as self-employment income:

 

  1. Select Income from Form 1099-MISC under Wages and Income.
  2. Enter the payer information and dollar amount
  3. Enter a description for the payment
  4. When asked about Uncommon Reasons, select that none apply or select one that adequately explains the reason
  5. When asked about the frequency of payment, select received in 2022
  6. When asked "Did (description) involve an intent to earn money?" answer No (that is, it is not earned income and therefore not subject to self-employment tax)
