1099 Misc

NeilV1 — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:42:54 GMT

Will there be a program fix coming to allow entry of 1099 misc. income to a business? I keep getting this error message.

Error: "Form 1099-misc: a link to schedule c should not be linked when the mwp qualifying as difficulty of care payments exclusion box has been checked"

You are not required to enter a 1099-MISC specifically into your tax return as long as all the income is reported correctly. You can delete your 1099-MISC Form from your return and re-enter the income.

To enter your income to your business in TurboTax Online you can follow these steps:

Within your return, click on Tax Tools in the black menu on the left side of the screen.
Click on Tools.
Click on Delete a Form.
Scroll down to your form and click Delete.
Under Federal in the black menu bar click Wages & Income to get back into your tax returns.
Search for self employed income (use this exact phrase, don't add a hyphen) and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results
Answer Yes on the Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? screen
- If you land on the Your 2022 self-employed work summary page, select Review next to the work you're adding income for
Answer the questions on the following screens until you arrive at Let's enter the income for your work
Scroll down to the Income section and click Add income for this work
Choose Other self-employed income and Continue
Proceed entering/reviewing your return.

I'm getting the same error trying to link 1099MISC to Schedule F. Sounds like the same glitch TT found in recent update to TT Professional. How can I get around it? Or when will it be fixed?

Desktop version steps? How about fixing the issue/bug at hand please?

Seems odd users are being told to simply bypass tax forms such as 1099's.

Note different TurboTax program management of personal income 1099-MISC vs. business income 1099-MISC (where the "do these apply questions" do not appear).

TurboTax Desktop Windows: 2/22 program update has installed a bug where 1099-MISC form is missing (thus unable to change), the difficulty of care payments exclusion box thereby causing Schedule C error: “Link to schedule c should not be linked when the MWP qualifying as difficulty of care payments exclusion box has been checked”. This exclusion box was not selected prior (in error or otherwise).

Regards.

I am using the Mac version. There is no Tax Tools or black menu on the left side of the screen. Can you please provide a Mac-specific workaround? Better yet, can Intuit fast-track a bug fix for this? Thanks.

Given how common1099-Misc forms are, wouldn't the better solution be for TurboTax to fix the bug in the software, rather than asking customers to use such a convoluted work around?

I'm unclear on how the suggested solution of providing instructions on how to delete a form offers any relevance to this issue. Issue is not that we don't know how to delete and restart a form

In which box of form 1099 Misc. was the income reported? and what kind of income is reported on the form?

Box 1: Rents

Box 2: Royalties

Box 3: Other income

For example, Rent income in box 1 will show on Schedule E. Also, Income in box 3 might be considered as Self employment income and it is reported on schedule C.

There is a software error in population of the 1099 MISC. My TT will not populate the "Income value" with a download from bank or by completing the interview. Is this being fixed.

To clarify, for what purpose was the Form 1099-MISC reported?

A Form 1099-MISC could be entered in any of these sections of your return, as it is used for different purposes and it depends on which boxes have entries.
