Why is my 1099 misc box 3 for $45 being placed on schedule C when it's for imputed income? Last year Turbo Tax put in "other income"

No problem.  This payment can be reported on line 21 of the Form 1040.

In TurboTax Deluxe follow these steps to reach this result. TurboTax will walk you through the change in versions because this income is not allowed to be reported on a 1040EZ or 1040A.

  • Federal Taxes > Wages & Income > Other Common Income > Income from Form1099-MISC > Update 
  • Edit > Continue (if all your information is there and the income is in box 3)
  • Type description, if necessary
  • Continue > Check None apply
  • No it did not involve work
  • Select got it in 2016
  • No it didn't involve an intent to earn money
  • Finish

This will place the amount on line 21 as it should. You can review your return by using the steps here.
