Whether you received a 1099-MISC for self-employment, rent, royalties, fishing, or another reason, you can enter the information by following these steps (or this link for our mobile app😞

  • Sign in to your TurboTax account.
  • Select the orange button Take me to my return.
  • Type “1099-misc” in the Search box.
  • Select the “Jump to” link.
  • This will take you to the 1099-MISC screen.

After you’ve entered the information from your 1099-MISC, we'll ask a few questions to confirm the type of income you received and create the necessary forms. If your 1099-MISC income is from self-employment, we’ll help you enter expenses related to your income.

  • Log into your TurboTax online account and click on the Business tab and select Continue
  • Select “I’ll choose what I work on” and this takes you to “Let’s gather your business info” screen
  •  The first section down is Business Income and Expenses, choose Update
  • You are now at the “Here’s  the business info we have so far” screen where you should see your Business listed
