2023 Minnesota Tax Rebate 1099-Misc

[johnsroad7]

We received a 1099-Misc from Minnesota for One Time Tax Rebate Payment.  The 1099-Misc is both of our names.  Using Turbotax Home and Business software, how do I enter this for federal and state?

If you are filing Married Filing Jointly, enter it under 

Wages & Income

1099-MISC and Other Common Income

Income from Form 1099-MISC

Enter "Rebate" as the description

Select "Not like my work"

Select only received in 2023

Select "No intent to make money"

The income should go to your 1040 schedule 1 NOT schedule C

Be sure to report that as a subtraction on your Minnesota return

If you are filing separately, one of you can file the 1099-MISC 

or you could split it although it would be difficult with only one 1099-MISC.  Technically a second 1099-MISC would be helpful in that situation, however each of you could report 50% and explain if the IRS were to question it.
