  5. Enter info from 1099-MISC form (Payer, Federal ID #, Box 3 amount, etc.), Continue
  6. Enter Description for reason for 1099-MISC; perhaps something like "Paid Family Leave", Continue.  
  7. On Does one of these common situation apply? page, Click on None of these apply.  Continue.  
  8. Did the Paid Family Leave involve work that's like your main job?  Answer No, Continue.
  9. When asked about frequency of payment, Select 2023.  Continue.
  10. When asked "Did (description) involve an intent to earn money?" answer No (that is, it is not earned income and therefore not subject to self-employment tax).  Continue.

  12. You should land on 1099-MISC Summary page.
