I have added my W-2 now I need to add 1099-Misc but don't see where to add

Where you should enter your 1099-misc depends on why you got it.    Basically, if it is self-employment income, it gets entered on Schedule C.   And if it is not self-employment, it is ordinary income.    Does a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC mean I'm self-employed? 

 

How do I report income from self-employment?  income will be reported on Schedule C.

 

<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

 

Here's how to enter a 1099-MISC that you may have received for another reason. (not self-employment).   You will be asked 3 follow-up questions.  

 

Under Other Common Income, select Start or Revisit next to Form 1099-MISC.   Enter your 1099-MISC info on the Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC screen and click Continue.  

 

  1. On the Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC screen, enter a description of the income.  
  2. Click Continue.
  3. Select None of these apply on the Does one of these uncommon situations apply? screen.
  4. Select No, it didn’t involve work like my main job on the Did the involve work that's like your main job? screen.
  5. Select I got it only in 2024 on the How often did you get income for? screen.
  6. Select No, it didn’t involve intent to earn money on the Did the work involve an intent to earn money? screen.
  7. Select No on the Do you have another 1099-MISC? screen.

 

Answering differently to any of those three questions will imply self-employment and generate Schedule C.
