How do I file a 1099

Follow the directions below to enter a 1099-MISC in TurboTax:

  1. Open or continue your return, if you're not already in it.
  2. Search for 1099-misc and then select the "Jump-to" link or "Go to" button at the top of your search results.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?
    • If you already entered a 1099-MISC, you'll be on the 1099-MISC Summary screen, in which case select Add Another 1099-MISC.
    • Or, if you need to edit or delete a previously-entered 1099-MISC, select the appropriate button.
  4. Enter the info from your form into the corresponding boxes.
    • If you need to enter boxes 4–6 or 8–18, check My form has other info in boxes 1–18 to expand the form.

If the income was reported in box 7 of your form 1099-misc, then it will also be reported as self-employment income on schedule c. However, if it was reported in box 3 of the 1099-misc, then it will be listed as other income on your tax return. Please view this TurboTax FAQ for more information.
