Where it is reported depends on whether the income is reported in Box 2 Royalties or Box 7 Non-employecompensation? 

Royalty (box 2) reports royalty payments from intangible property such as patents, copyrights, trade names, and trademarks. Report the gross royalties (before reduction for fees, commissions, or expenses) paid by a publisher directly to an author or literary agent, unless the agent is a corporation. The literary agent (whether or not a corporation) that receives the royalty payment on behalf of the author must report the gross amount of royalty payments to the author on Form 1099-MISC whether or not the publisher reported the payment to the agent on its Form 1099-MISC. 

Royalties are entered on Schedule E Supplemental Income and Loss.

  • Search for Royalty and then click the "Jump to" link in the search result.
    1. Answer Yes to the question Did you have any rental or royalty income and expenses?
    2. Follow the on-screen instructions as you proceed through the royalties section.

    Self-employment (whether reported on a 1099-Misc or not) are entered on Schedule C Profit or Loss from Business.
