1099-A

[greekstyle]

So as stated earlier I have a 1099-misc which when entered directs me to schedule C which i do not want to use, therefore I will use other income 1099-A. But I need to know when I enter the total of box 3 where do I enter amount of tax withheld. The program does not ask me for any tax withheld.

Don't use that section for a 1099-misc; you won't be asked about tax withheld there.   Use the instructions below to report your 1099-misc that is not for self-employment.   If the income is self-employment, it belongs on Schedule C.   Keep detailed records with your tax paperwork.  

If the income on the 1099-misc is not self-employment income, delete (see instructions below) that 1099-misc and delete the Schedule C.  Then re-enter the 1099-misc as follows.

Under Other Common Income, select Start or Revisit next to Form 1099-MISC.   Enter your 1099-MISC info on the Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC screen and click Continue.  Put a checkmark in the box that says My form has other info in boxes 1-18, so you can enter the withholding.  

1. On the Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC screen, enter a description of the income.
2. Click Continue.
3. Select None of these apply on the Does one of these uncommon situations apply? screen.
4. Select No, it didn’t involve work like my main job on the Did the involve work that's like your main job? screen.
5. Select I got it only in 2024 on the How often did you get income for? screen.
6. Select No, it didn’t involve intent to earn money on the Did the work involve an intent to earn money? screen.
7. Select No on the Do you have another 1099-MISC? screen.

Answering differently to any of these questions will imply self-employment and generate Schedule C.    Don't forget to delete the Sched C and the erroneous 1099.
