Question

1099 MISC

I received fund from the state as incentive for day care teacher making less than $15 an hour. Last year 2018 turbo tax has it as "other income or loss". This year 2019 it is under "business Sole P" and asking about expenses. Are they the same or should it be just extra income

Level 15

file it as other income as per last year especially if the IRS accepted your 2018 return.

I apologize for your frustration!

If I am understanding you correctly, you received Form 1099-Misc. for being a daycare worker.

If you earned the money as part of a self-employed business, you will need to input the information under the Federal interview section.

Select Income & Expenses
Select Self-employment income and expenses
Proceed through the screens to enter your information.

If your income is not from self-employment, you will enter your information as follows:

Select Income & Expenses
Go to the All Income section and select "Less Common Income"
Select "Miscellaneous Income"

Miscellaneous income
