I have a 1099-MISC form, Turbotax asks for box 7, but on my paper box 7 is for "Nonemployee compernation" whereas TurboTax has it as "Social Sec. wages". What do I do ?

At what screen are you seeing TurboTax request 'Social Security wages' for box 7 IRS form 1099-Misc?

In TurboTax Self-Employed, at the screen Let's get the info from your 1099-Misc, box 7 is listed as Nonemployee compensation.

It sounds like you are on the screen for entering a W-2, not the screen for a 1099-MISC. Box 7 on a W-2 is Social security tips (not Social security wages). See the following FAQ for instructions to enter a 1099-MISC.

Where do I enter a 1099-MISC?
