1099MISC income keeps reverting to MWP income

[tblawley]

I keep entering my 1099MISC income correctly. On the page that asks “Do any of these uncommon situations apply”, I select “None of the above”. When I run error check at the end TurboTax has defaulted my payment as an MWP payment and it shows up as an error that I don’t know how to fix. 

How can I correct this problem?  I can send a screenshot verifying that I DID NOT select MEP payments. Help!!

Some TurboTax customers may be experiencing an error when entering a 1099-MISC: “A link to Schedule C should not be linked when the MWP qualifying as difficulty of care payments exclusion box has been checked.”

See this TurboTax Help.

Are you trying to report self-employment income with the 1099-MISC?

Depending upon how the 1099-MISC was entered, you may be able to remove the 1099-MISC by following these steps:

• Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools.
• Click on Tools.
• Click on Delete a form.

Then enter the income directly in the Schedule C at the screen Let's enter any additional income for your work.

You may select Form 1099-NEC or Other self-employed income, includes cash and checks.
