Here's how to enter a 1099-MISC for tribal per capita payments in TurboTax. By following these steps the income will appear on Form 1040 line 21 with the description "Indian Tribal Distrib." It's very important that it be reported with this exact description in order to avoid delaying the processing of your tax return and possibly getting a notice from the IRS. The IRS computers recognize this description and will handle the income properly.
