1099-MISC that is not for outside work

jwagner504 — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 03:37:08 GMT

I am using TurboTax Desktop

I have a 1099-Misc that is part of a pension payment (Prudential Supplemental Retirement plan). This is causing TurboTax to assume the income is from a business. It is not. How do I get around this.

You can report it as 'Other Income'. If the amount is reported in Box 3 (this would be the right box), you should follow the steps below to enter it without a self employment issue.

Report it as 'Other' income on your return.
Other Income:
1. Open your return.
2. Go to Wages & Income > Scroll to the bottom under Less Common Income
3. Select Start (or Update) for Miscellaneous Income.
4. Select Other reportable Income > Enter a description and the amount

This is fine for entering the income. But there is no place to report the state and federal taxes paid. How do I do that?

Enter the Form 1099-MISC you received. Check the box My form has other info in boxes 1-18 so you can enter the federal and state taxes withheld

Enter a description of the income

Select None of these apply on the next screen
