When filing with 1099's, I figured I would be asked to fill out the info that's in my 1099 form, but it's asking me questions as if I'm the business owner.

Am I doing something wrong?

What kind of 1099 do you have? There are 21 different kinds. There is no plain Form 1099. All 1099 forms have one or more letters after the 1099. The most common are 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-B, 1099-NEC, 1099-R, and 1099-G.

If you have a 1099-G or 1099-MISC, which box is the income in?

If you have a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC, is it from an employer who also gave you a W-2?
