It depends. If you used the advice to report the interest appropriately, the following is some details about how to enter the 1099-MISC. First it's important to answer the following questions correctly in the 1099-MISC entry as indicated by @PatriciaV and @LeticiaF1.
- This income is not business income, rather miscellaneous as indicated by your Form 1099-MISC. It's your money making money for you and not because of a service you performed.
- It's important for you to select 'None of these apply" and then you should also select the following:
- 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve work that's like your main job?'
- 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve an intent to earn money?'
This will report the income without any business activity and it will show up on Form 1040, Line 8 (From Schedule 1, Line 8z).
If you continue to have the same results you can use the following instruction, then delete the 1099-MISC entry.
