my wife received numerous 1099-MISC forms, with income in the box 6 "medical and health care payments".

I don't see a box 6 input available on the turbotax form?? I have never had this problem in 10 + years of using turbotax

That box does not exist, or at least does not exist on this year's version of TurboTax Self-Employed. Can you please give instructions then on what to do for this year's version?
