Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

Got a 1099 w/ $750 royalties for an old book. T-Tax added Schedule C and added $300 to taxes. Should I have used a different form since I was not actively writing?

Did not write the book in 2018.  Had to pay self-employment without doing any work on it. 

If on the wrong form, how to I amend in Turbo Tax?

UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019

 

Yes - You should have reported the royalties on Schedule E (Rentals & Royalties).
