The required reporting for a 1099-MISC is not like a W2. The IRS requires more information than what is available on a 1040A or 1040EZ. The 1040 form covers every situation and this type of income can only be reported there.
To complete the entry for your 1099-MISC follow these steps:
- My Account > Tools > Topic Search > Type 1099misc > Go
-
Select Yes and continue to enter your information

Note: TurboTax Free can be used for the 1040EZ and 1040A, the 1040 can handle any type of income or expense and for this reason you will need to upgrade to TurboTax Deluxe. This version will work with this type of income if you don't have expenses.
