For box 3 on 1099-MISC form what do I select? Schedule C, F, form 4835? There is no guidance or help...

I am seeing the message "Form 1099-MISC: A link to schedule C or another for is something we need to get your info in the right place."

I have the number $8.25 in box 3 on a 1099-MISC. During a review I received the above message and I have multiple options: Schedule C, F, or Form 4835.

However there is literally no information about what to select. It is marked as Other Income in the tax document that I received.

Can anyone tell me with where I should be putting this to get this done? Thank you!

It depends on why you received the income. If it is not self-employment or farm income, you may want to enter as Miscellaneous Income.

Under Less Common Income select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C

On the Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income page, select Start to the right of Other reportable income
On the Any Other Taxable Income? screen, select Yes
On the Other Taxable Income screen enter the description then the amount. Select Continue
On the Other Miscellaneous Income Summary screen, select Done
