Inherited 1099-Misc

kreyn — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:15:11 GMT

I received a 1099-Misc form from my deceased sisters workplace. Box 3 was checked under other income. When I told Turbotax that it was inherited, it still added tax owed. Is that right? I understood inherited income was not taxable.

I am sorry for your loss.

You should contact the Payer. However, since this is from your sister's place of work, it is most likely some form of compensation which would be taxable to you (even though you "inherited" it). This is commonly termed IRD (income in respect of a decedent).

Where do you enter money received from a farm land inheritance.

@8-1

Your question is too vague ... what exactly did you inherit ? If land did you sell it or did the estate ?
