Are there different 1099's. The boxes on my 1099 are different than the one on Turbo Tax?

My 1099 has wages/taxes, turbo tax 1099 is rents and royalties

Yes there are many different 1099 forms.   It should say like 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099R or 1099G etc.   What did you get it for?   

[billychuck]

It was from a lawsuit.  The 1009misc has similar boxes to a W-2.  Wages, Federal and State taxes withheld.  All the 1099's I am shown on Turbo Tax only show the interest/dividends.  I was thinking of just filling out a W-2, since it has the same info.  They sure have messed up Turbo Tax.  I've been doing my own taxes since 1971.  Long before Turbo Tax.  It was the same for many years and easy to maneuver when you're familiar with the format, but now it's crazy.  I really appreciate the help.  This is the only part that is holding me up from completing my taxes this year.

It's best to enter the 1099-MISC as it is. Include the federal and state withholding by selecting my form has more boxes to include the state income and withholding. Then follow the instructions below so that you do not indicate it is from self employment.

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

1. Open your TurboTax Online/Mobile or TurboTax Desktop tax return
2. Search (upper right) > type 1099misc > click the Jump to... link
3. Begin your entry of the 1099-MISC.
4. 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).
