How do I manually add prize winnings if I didn't receive a 1040-misc?

When I try to add in that section it asks me if I received a 1040-misc and when I say no it just puts me back to the main income section

How do I manually add prize winnings if I didn't receive a 1040-misc?

I would report as "Other Income".  To do so, while logged in to your return:

  • Click on Federal
  • Click on Income & Expenses
  • Scroll to the bottom of the "Your income and expenses" page, and click on "Less Common Income
  • Click on "Show more"
  • At the bottom of the page, next to "Miscellaneous Income..." click on Start/Revisit
  • Other reportable income - click on Start, then answer Yes 
  • Give a description and enter amount of income from the prize winnings

This amount will also be reported on line 8 of Schedule 1 (Form)
