I entered form 1099MISC from the UAW. It is for $25 I received because they give me legal benefits such as making a will, financing a home, etc. But I am getting an error and the tax documents from Turbo Tax is saying this is a business I own. It is not. The 1099MISC has a Payers TIN but no business number or anything. How can I correct this?

You can enter the 1099-MISC in TurboTax as "Other Common Income," which is reported on line 8 of 1040 Schedule 1 and will not generate Schedule C or SE tax. Please use the following steps:

Click on Federal > Wages & Income.
Scroll down to the Other Common Income section.
Click on the Start/Revisit box next Form 1099-MISC.
On the screen Did you get a 1099-MISC? click on the Yes button.
On the next screen, Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC, enter the information from the 1099-MISC.
On the following screens, answer the following questions:
- Did it involve work that's like your main job? No.
- You got it in 2019
- No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money

7. Continue through the rest of the interview screens. The income will appear as Other Income.

There is no box which asks if I intended to earn income so I can't say NO. Also it keeps asking me about Lines that aren't listed on the 1099MISC form I received.
