How do I enter 1099-MISC that is NOT job-related? Purpose for mine is FMV for a benefit received from deceased. Previous yrs. it was on Sched 1, Line 10 & on 1040 Line 8

When I enter, Turbo only allows it to be for work-related & is assigning it as Sched C.

Delete that 1099-misc entry (and the Schedule C that was started).   Then, re-enter the 1099-misc using the steps below - 

To enter a 1099-MISC, that is for miscellaneous income, not for self-employment or rental income, follow the steps below.

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.   This will place the income on Line 8 of Schedule 1 and Form 1040.   Don't forget to delete the Schedule C that was started when you entered it the first time 🙂
