1099-MISC for disability

[frustratedskk]

I have a 1099-MISC for disability payments received on maternity leave. TT is now requiring business information to be filled out when these payments were NOT for a business.

I suggest you delete the 1099-MISC you have entered, and anything that was created in the self-employment section and start fresh.

Here is how to report the 1099-MISC in TurboTax Online:

• 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: "Disability" or similar
• 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 Disability.  Select only the year of this specific 1099-MISC, 2024.

That did the trick.  I had disability payments for maternity leave for both 2022 and 2024.  Once I made the recommended change, I was able to proceed with different questions that made sense and delete the business section.  Then the federal check had no errors!  Thank-you!
