Re: Misc 1099 but I did not have an outside job or business.

What was the 1099-MISC income for? Once the type of income is known, someone can likely guide you through the proper 1099-MISC questions.

It sounds like you are already in the right place to enter the 1099-MISC, in other income. You should answer that it did not involve the intent to earn money, otherwise it seems that this income is business related.

Here is how to report the 1099-MISC:

Navigate to Federal > Income > Wages & Income Summary > Other Common Income> Form 1099-MISC> Start or Revisit
Enter the 1099-MISC as printed, Continue
Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC.
Select None of these uncommon situations apply, then continue
Select No, it didn’t involve work that's like your main job and continue
The next screen asks how often you get income from this. Select only the year of this specific 1099-MISC, 2025.
Next, select No, it didn't involve the intent to earn money
You can check this in TurboTax Online by navigating to Tax Tools on the left of your screen, choose Tools, then View Tax Summary. On the left of the screen, select Preview my 1040, then verify the amount is included on Schedule 1, Line 8z "Other Income."

What do I do if it tries to add my nonbusiness 1099-MISC income as Self-Employed? (It was not self-employed work).

The system believes that you had a PPP loan for whatever reason.

Try this if you get stuck on the PPP loan page and cannot get past it, the easiest way out is to simply click to another section of your return without answering any questions or filling in any data.

As a self-employed person, where do I enter premiums paid for dental insurance not purchased on the ACA exchange?

meslerd — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 23:21:13 GMT

Do I edit the amounts imported from Form 1095-A?

why am I being prompted to select the years I recieved a PPP loan forgiveness? I have no idea what they are talking about. I cant move on without selecting a year.

Re: TurboTax doesn't show QBI for second sole proprietorship

It may be that the net income for the landscaping business is $0. That can happen if you add an asset and choose the section 179 depreciation option. In that case, just enough of the section 179 depreciation would be taken until the income of the business was reduced to $0, assuming the section 179 deduction was more than that.

Re: 1065 K-1 Box 20 AJ Code

PatriciaV — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 22:01:28 GMT

The information for Box 20 Code AJ is reported separately to allow the partners to use the information as needed to complete Form 461. If you're not planning to file that form, you don't need to enter Code AJ. Or you can add the two numbers together. But TurboTax provides multiple lines for Code AJ to allow you to report each amount separately. Note that in most cases, TurboTax doesn't use the information from Box 20.

Unfortunately, you cannot combine the numbers reported on Schedule K-1, even for the same box number. Each code is specific to how that activity should be reported and handled on your tax return. Enter the information from Schedule K-1 as it appears.

ThomasM125 — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 21:57:09 GMT

No, say "no" to that option. Also, when asked if you have a profit motive for the income, respond with "no". Also, just put down that you only receive the income in the current year when asked. Otherwise, the income will show up as self-employment income, which it is not.

MindyB — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 21:25:45 GMT

Yes, the payment will lower your penalty automatically, but you do need to enter the payment and date you paid it if you have not yet done so.

If you need to enter the payments you made, you can do so by navigating to Deductions and Credits, Estimates and Other Taxes Paid > Estimated Tax Payments > Federal estimated taxes for 2025 (Form 1040-ES).

I am self-employed and paid ONE quarter in advance during the year 2025. Will that lower my penalty automatically or do I need to document that somewhere?

Re: Where can I add self employed health insurance premiums to my deductions?

DaveF1006 — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 21:09:57 GMT

If you are using TurboTax online, it is listed in expenses. If you don't see it immediately, keep selecting the button that says add expense categories. You will eventually see a category labeled "Health insurance".

If using TurboTax Software, look for an expense category labeled "Insurance Payments". You would enter that here.

Re: What do I do if 1099-Misc was issued by error?

DianeW777 — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 21:01:46 GMT

It depends on what the money was for. If you are not self employed and this is not considered wages from an employer you can add the income using the steps below.

It's important that you made the appropriate selections so that TurboTax does know that it was not self employment income.

Open your TurboTax Online/Mobile or TurboTax Desktop tax return
Search (upper right) > type 1099misc > click the Jump to... link
Begin your entry of the 1099-MISC.
It's important for you to select 'None of these apply" and then you should also select the following:
1. 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve work that's like your main job?'
2. 'No' on the screen 'Did the '____' involve an intent to earn money?'

This will report the income without any business/self employment activity and it will show up on Form 1040, Line 8 (From Schedule 1, Line 8z).

Continue to complete this section.

Please update if you have additional details or questions and we will help.

I did check the "Yes landscaping is qualified business income." box and it is still not listed as having QBI on the QBI Income Deduction Summary.
