Can I add it to this year’s return? What are my options?

If you are already filed your 2025 tax return -

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

You'll have to amend the 2024 return. You can't add a 2024 1099-MISC to a 2025 tax return.

Here are the instructions to amend your 2024 tax return:

From the Tax Home screen, locate and select the desired tax year under the Your tax returns & documents section.
Choose the "Amend (change) return" dropdown, and then select "Amend using TurboTax Online."
- Note: If you are instructed to use TurboTax Desktop, please follow the steps for the desktop version instead.
Proceed through the following screens, apply your necessary changes, and accurately answer all subsequent questions to complete the amendment process.
