If this is not business income, you need to indicate that.
To enter a 1099-MISC for miscellaneous income in TurboTax:
- Open or continue your return
- Search for 1099-misc and select the Jump-to link
- Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?
- If you already entered a 1099-MISC, you'll be on the 1099-MISC Summary screen, in which case you'll select Add Another 1099-MISC
- If you need to edit or delete a previously entered 1099-MISC, select the appropriate button
To exclude it as business income, say NO to the questions regarding the intent to earn money and that it involved work like your main job.
