I received a 1099 misc for retirement pension income. How do I answer the questions about what type of job?

This income should be reported in the Other Income section of TurboTax. 

  1. Log in and open your return (if not already open).
  2. Click the search field, type 1099misc, and click the jump to link in the search results.
  3. Once you have entered your 1099-misc, select that it does not involve work like your main job, select that it did not involve an intent to make money, and select that it is not a recurring payment (even if it is). You must report the income as a non-recurring payment so that the self-employment tax will not be computed.
