Received 1099-MISC with an amount in the Rents box for the use of my personal laptop at work. How do I report that?

I am not self employed. This 1099-MISC came from my employer along with my W2, but this small laptop usage amount was separately reported via 1099. I have no idea why it wasn't included on my W2 instead.

Received 1099-MISC with an amount in the Rents box for the use of my personal laptop at work. How do I report that?

The income you reported for the use of your computer for work as stipend income.  This income will need to be reported on line 7 of your Form 1040 and won't be subject to Self-Employment Tax.  

 

To enter this on TurboTax:

 

  • Go to Federal Taxes>   Wages and Income
  • Scroll to the Less Common Income section and choose Miscellaneous Income 
  • Choose Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099
  • Answer Yes on the Other Wages Received screen
  • Continue past Wages Earned as a Household Employee and Sick or Disability Pay
  • Answer Yes on the Any Other Earned Income screen
  • Choose Other on the Enter Source of Other Earned Income screen
  • Enter your stipend information on the Any Other Earned Income screen
