Multiply amount in Box 1 by .30 (which is 30%).  That means 30% of your dividend comes from US Government sources.  There may be a list of securities invested in by that particular fund with your 1099-DIV info.   @JohnnyMac16 

It depends. If you are referencing a single member limited liability company (SMLLC), then this would be reported on Schedule C with your individual tax return. An amendment can be completed if you were actually open for business in 2024, even though you had no income. How do I amend my federal tax return for this year? What is the deadline for filing an amended return? @lugar-darin [Edited: 04/13/2025 | 12:43 PM PST]

If you received a grant and a 1099-NEC form, you should likely report this income as nonemployee compensation. Here’s how to file it in TurboTax:   Open or continue your return. Navigate to the self-employed income section: TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to self-employed income. TurboTax Desktop: Search for self employed income (use this exact phrase, don't add a hyphen) and select the Jump to link. Answer Yes on the Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? screen. If you land on the Your 2024 self-employed work summary page, select Review next to the work you're adding income for. Answer the questions on the following screens until you arrive at Let's enter the income for your work. Select the form that applies to your situation and select Continue. You can enter the info from your 1099 form on the following screens.

If there's nothing for box 14 on your W2, then make sure that you leave all the boxes empty for box 14.  You should have nothing for the description, the amount, and category.       If you are using TurboTax Desktop, you will need to correct your return and/or update your program by following the onscreen instructions.   If you continue having issues, you can check some of our common solutions.  If your tax return can't be e-filed for some reason, TurboTax will let you know.   If your issue continues, contact us again and give us more details.   @RH2025 

Thanks for the reply, the problem I'm having is that it doesn't get to the point of asking that question.  Once I enter in the info from the 1099-NEC it's done, and it goes back to the Income and Expenses page.  I'm using the online TurboTax Premium.  Maybe it's different.
