Just click the Federal Taxes tab at the top of your screen and if it is for self-employment do the following:

• Select the Federal Taxes tab at the top of your screen

• Select the Wages and Income tab and scroll down the page to the Self-Employment section

• Click “Start” to the right and answer all of the interview questions that are asked and put in the dollar amount of your 1099-Misc.

If it is not from self-employment and is a one-time event like mowing someone's lawn do the following:

• Select the Federal Taxes tab at the top of your screen

• Select Wages and Income and scroll down the page to the “Less Common Income” section

• Scroll down to the last line “Miscellaneous Income” and click Start or Revisit

• On the next page, scroll down to the last line “Other reportable income and select Start or Revisit and put the income in this section.  It will appear on Line 21 of your 1040 and be taxable but not subject to self-employment taxes.
