EV Tax on 1099-MISC

[paulslasor]

I got a 2500 check from my state for purchasing an EV and received a 1099-MISC.   On Turbo Tax it has the 1099-MISC in the business section and not the personal section.  Do I fill it out as if it is a business?

No, this would not be entered in the business section. You can enter this so that it is Other income.

Delete the 1099-MISC that you entered.
