Box 11 on Form 1099-MISC is not used.  If you received a Form 1099-MISC with a box 11 amount, contact the payer and request a corrected 1099-MISC.

 

Check to make sure it is a 1099-MISC, and not one of the types of 1099 (there are about 20 kinds of 1099).

As stated above, box 11 on the 1099-MISC is not active and reserved for future use. However, to enter income from other areas on the 1099-MISC, follow the instructions below:

  • Under the Federal menu on the left, click on Wages & Income (or Income & Expenses if you are using TurboTax Self-Employed)
  • If the income is related to business activities for self-employed, you will enter the 1099-MISC under the Self-Employment menu
  • If the 1099-MISC is for one-time payments not related to a trade or business, click to expand Other Common Income
  • Click Start/Revisit next to Form 1099-MISC
  • Enter the information as it appears on the form

If you have income reported in box 7, the software will try to determine if this was income related to business activities. Review the questions on the following screens carefully.
