What type of income was reported on your 1099-MISC? Did you work for someone that didn't withhold income taxes or Social Security/Medicare taxes from your pay?

If you did, you are considered self-employed (or "contract labor"). Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for instructions on entering your 1099-MISC. You'll be required to upgrade to a paid edition of TurboTax in order to enter your 1099-MISC. You will also be required to pay self-employment taxes. TurboTax will figure all of that for you.

Non-Employee compensation is reported in box 7 of the 1099-MISC. As far as the IRS is concerned, income reported in box 7 of the 1099-MISC *is* self-employment income with ***RARE*** exception. (The most common exception being the income was incorrectly reported in box 7 when it should have been in box 3).

So exactly why were you paid the amount reported in box 7?
