I received a 1099-MISC but I am not self-employed, not sure why I received this and if I need to enter this amount as part of my taxes

You should be entering your 1099-MISC as "Other Common Income" on the Income and Expenses page and not under "Self-Employment".  Self-employment is reported on 1099-NEC for the 2022 tax year.

 

Follow these steps to enter your 1099-MISC:

  1. Open or continue your return
  2. Select the magnifying glass and search for 1099-misc. Select the Jump-to link
  3. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?
    • If you already entered a 1099-MISC, you'll be on the 1099-MISC Summary screen, in which case you'll select Add Another 1099-MISC
    • If you need to edit or delete a previously entered 1099-MISC, select the appropriate button
  4. Enter the info from your form into the corresponding boxes
    • If you need to enter boxes 4–6 or 8–17, check My form has other info in boxes 1–17
