1099-MISC

[greekstyle]

I received a 1099-MISC from my Union's Welfare Fund with income in box 3.

I keep getting the forwarded to schedule C.  I did not work independently from my main employment or operating my own business.  I do not wish to fill out schedule C.  How do I bypass this schedule and have the income reported on the 1040?

You can enter as Miscellaneous Income:

1. Under Less Common Income select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
2. On the Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income page, select Start to the right of Other reportable income
3. On the Any Other Taxable Income? screen, select Yes
4. On the Other Taxable Income screen enter the description "1099-MISC Union Welfare Fund," then the amount.  Select Continue
5. On the Other Miscellaneous Income Summary screen, select Done

Thanks so much.  Just one more question.....After entering the information where do I enter the tax withheld for this income which now appears on schedule 1.

You may need to select the box that says "My form has other info in boxes 1-18" on the 1099-MISC input screen since Federal Income tax withheld would be reported in Box 4 and State tax withheld would be in Box 16. 

When you enter the 1099-MISC, the tax withheld (Federal and/or State) flows into the program and will be accounted for when figuring the tax paid. 

You will see the Federal tax that was withheld included on your 1040 line 25b.
