I have a 1099 misc that i received for Paid leave benefits I entered it under "other common income" but it keeps asking me questions about self employment? Why?

Generally, income from a 1099-MISC form is considered self-employment income but here are the instructions to enter the form so it is not included in self-employment income. First you can delete the 1099-MISC form that you already entered and then enter it again.

 

  1. Launch TurboTax and select Wages and Income
  2. Scroll down to Other Common Income and select Edit
  3. Select the trash that is next to the 1099-MISC form that you already entered to delete it
  4. Select Add Form
  5. Enter your 1099-MISC and select Continue
  6. Enter Paid Leave for the description and Continue
  7. Select None of these apply on the next screen
  8. Select only the tax year for this 1099-MISC and Continue
  9. Select No, it didn’t involve an intent to earn money and Continue
  10. Select No, if you don’t have any more forms to enter and Continue.

 

You will be able to see this income on Line 10 of your 1040. When you pay for TurboTax you will be able to view your forms.
