1098-misc

To enter a form 1099-MISC, you need to be in the Wages and Income Section, then choose Other Common Income, then Income from Form 1099-MISC.

I have tried several times to enter the 1099-MISC information. When it gets to the section where my Federal tax is reviewed, I started getting messages to fill in blanks on a form for self-employment. These do not apply to strike fund check and it should not be taxed at self-employment rate. How do I enter the information correctly? I am supposed to check No, it didn't involve intent to earn money?

Please clarify if you indicated this income was related to your main job (assuming the strike pay was for your main job). This option would normally prevent the self-employment tax calculation.
