For Farm Income on 1099-G, my software only has entry available for Boxes 7 & 9. I only have enty in 6. How do I put it in file?

To enter a 1099-G for taxable grants:

In your open return, select My Account

Topic Search
Type '1099-g, government payments' in the box, then select GO

Select 'Yes', then select 'Other Government Payments

I found the same problem as others that the desktop software version of TurboTax only has options for entering Farm Income on Form 1099-G from blocks 7 & 9. Where should the income from block 6 on Form 1099-G be entered? One would think it would be entered in the same way as block 7.

Box 6 on the 1099-G must be entered in the Personal section.

The reasoning is that the Grant cannot be counted into the Qualified Business Income Deduction, therefore cannot be included in farm income.
