Self employed

The fact that the income is reported on a Form 1099-MISC indicates it is not for self employment reasons.  If you were involved in a self employment transaction then they would be required to report it that way using Form 1099-NEC.  For this reason, you should not be concerned about entering your 1099-MISC as 'Other income' without paying self employment taxes on this income.  

 

You can delete the Form 1099-MISC and then enter the income following the steps below.

 

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows. 

  1. Select Tax Tools 
  2. On the drop-down select Tools 
  3. On the Pop-Up menu select Delete a Form 
  4. This will give you all of the forms in your return 
  5. Scroll down to the form you want to delete 
  6. Select the Form 
  7. Click on Delete

Always use extreme caution when deleting information from your tax return.  There could be unintended consequences.

  1. Scroll to  Less Common Income > Select  Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
