Last year I got a check in the mail as a healthy living incentive associated with my health insurance, and the accompanying letter said that it was taxable. However, I was never mailed a Form 1099-MISC for this. How do I report this with Turbotax? I attempted to start a Form 1099-MISC and the first question was "Did you get a 1099-MISC?" and the answer of course is that I did not. If I answer no, it asks me no more questions and returns me to the previous page. If I answer yes, I leave the payer's id number blank and type in $0.01 as "other income" (it won't let me continue if I type in $0.00). Only then does the system prompt me to enter in the amount I received as a personal check that wasn't on a tax form, which I do. Going back to the main page, that amount now shows up under "other self-employed income" even though I did not earn any income through self-employment and I did not intend to report it that way.
Would it be better to have entered the actual amount I received on the Form 1099-MISC as if I had actually received such a form?
