1099-MISC question

earsm007 — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 19:54:35 GMT

I earned income from a direct marketing company and received a 1099-MISC. Turbo Tax asked me twice about the same 1099-MISC. I do not earn money from this direct marketing company EXCEPT for what was on the 1099-MISC. From reading the tax guides, it looks like I can list this within the same questions that cover the 1099-NEC forms and not a part of a Schedule C. Can someone confirm this for me?

I am not sure why Turbo Tax asked me twice for the same information.

You can enter the 1099-MISC in TurboTax as "Other Common Income," which is reported on line 8 of 1040 Schedule 1 and will not generate Schedule C or SE tax. Please use the following steps:

Click on Federal > Wages & Income.
Scroll down to the Other Common Income section.
Click on the Start/Revisit box next Form 1099-MISC.
On the screen Did you get a 1099-MISC? click on the Yes button.
On the next screen, Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC, enter the information from the 1099-MISC.
On the following screens, answer the following questions:
- Did it involve work that's like your main job? No.
- You got it in 2020
- No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money

7. Continue through the rest of the interview screens. The income will appear as Other Income.
