1099 Misc

kdraa — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:01:12 GMT

My son received a 1099-MISC from his employer. They put money in a fund for the employers and at times they receive payments from it. It is not a retirement fund. When I enter it in Turbo Tax it thinks that it is money from being self-employed and then asks questions that aren't necessary. How do I change this?

To report the 1099-Misc form as other income:

Open or continue with the return
Click on Show more next to Other Common Income under the Income & Expenses section
Click on Start/Revisit next to Form 1099-MISC
Enter the information from the 1099-MISC form.

That's what I have done, but then it asks me questions about the income being from self-employed and asks me the name of business when the income is from his main employment.
