Why does TurboTax put my 1099-misc amount entered as other into sole business?

In order to not report the 1099-MISC as a business, here is how to report the 1099-MISC:

 

  • Navigate to Federal > Wages & Income > Other Common Income> Form 1099-MISC> Start or Revisit
  • Enter the 1099-MISC as printed, Continue
  • Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC
  • Select None of these uncommon situations apply, then continue
  • Select No, it didn’t involve work that's like your main job and continue
  • The next screen asks how often you get income from this source.  Select only the year of this specific 1099-MISC, 2024.
