@carolebiggs

Just to clarify, what was the payment in regards to?

Which box is the $900 in?

(there are several different types of compensation called "Hero's Pay")

Same situation for me involving my wife's teaching hero pay. Entering info into the 1099-Misc section is easy, it's the way TT Premier keeps duplicating the entry into Business items and requiring me to complete a Schedule C, asking for accounting methods, business codes. etc. (????) and it's counting the amount as income twice. I mean we received a 1099-MISC with a Box 3 amount of $1200, that's it, so why all of the questions when it's called Hero Pay?
