My Father received a 1099 misc because he is a general motors retiree and receives free legal services. how do I enter this info into turbo tax?

[rdstewy]

there was a letter that came with the 1099 misc that says you do not have to file a Schedule C with your tax return because the 1099 reported amount is not self-employment income. But when doing federal check it always says to fill out schedule c.

This will be reported as other income on his schedule 1.  To do this, you will click the following

• Federal
• Wages and Income
• Scroll down to bottom and click show more next to Less Common Income
• Click Start next to Miscellaneous Income
• Click Start next to Other Reportable Income
• Walkthrough the entries to enter the 1099
