I have 1099-MISC Other Income. I did NOT earn this through self-employment. How do I enter this income?

Here is how to report the 1099-MISC into TurboTax if you would like "Other Income" to be generated rather than a business:

• Navigate to Federal > Wages & Income > Other Common Income> Form 1099-MISC> Start or Revisit
• Enter the 1099-MISC as printed, Continue
• Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC
• Select None of these uncommon situations apply, then continue
• Select No, it didn’t involve work that's like your main job and continue
• The next screen asks how often you get income from this source  Select only the year of this specific 1099-MISC, 2024.
• Next, select No, it didn't involve the intent to earn money
• Verify that the amount is now populated on Schedule 1, Line 8z "Other Income."
