Question

Adding 1099 misc for welfare fund security division benefit account

Hello,

When I select 1099 Misc for my welfare fund benefit account income received after answering all the questions NO it notes it as self employment and starts asking me questions about my business? This is not self employment and I tried it several ways and it does not correct it. I even uploaded the 1099-MISC, what do I do?

Level 15

Go back to the 1099-MISC entry and follow the steps below.

It's important that you made the appropriate selections so that TurboTax does know that it was not self employment income.

Open your TurboTax Online/Mobile or TurboTax Desktop tax return
Search (upper right) > type 1099misc > click the Jump to... link
Begin your entry of the 1099-MISC.
It's important for you to select 'None of these apply" and then you should also select the following:
1. 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve work that's like your main job?'
2. 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve an intent to earn money?'

This will report the income without any business/self employment activity and it will show up on Form 1040, Line 8 (From Schedule 1, Line 8z).
