Do I report a 1099-misc from a prospective employer for the expenses they incurred for interviewing me but did not hire me?

[lenhart4]

The employer paid for airfare and hotel costs for me to travel out-of-state to interview with them.  How do I report this in Turbotax?

Yes, you need to report it. 

To enter a 1099-MISC in TurboTax:

1. Open or continue your return, if you're not already in it.
2. Search for 1099-misc and then select the "Jump-to" link or "Go to" button at the top of your search results.
3. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?

• If you already entered a 1099-MISC, you'll be on the 1099-MISC Summary screen, in which case select Add Another 1099-MISC.
• Or, if you need to edit or delete a previously-entered 1099-MISC, select the appropriate button.
• Enter the info from your form into the corresponding boxes.
• If you need to enter boxes 4–6 or 8–18, check My form has other info in boxes 1–18 to expand the form.

What box is it reported in?  Did you pay the cost and they reimbursed you?  Is this job in the same field that you are working in now? Is your income for the year under $39.000 or are you eligible for EIC?
