How can I report my 1099-Misc Income 2020 on Schedule 1 instead of Schedule C

[MayaD]

Can you please clarify what was the 1099-Misc form for and is it for 2020 or 2021?

Where do I enter a 1099-MISC?

Sorry, It's for 2021. I'm retired and the 1099 Misc form is from the company legal services plan benefit. It's not from self employment. I called the company and they said it's not a schedule C income but a Schedule 1.

Please follow the steps below to enter Form 1099-Misc for Non Schedule C Income:

1. Click on Tax Home from Left Side Menu.
2. Click on Wages & Income from the Main Screen.
3. Scroll Down till you see the section titled "Other Common Income". Within this section, there will be an option for Form 1099-Misc. Click on Start next to it and enter the information accordingly.

9. On the Did the XXX involve work that’s like your main job? screen, select No, it didn’t involve work like my main job.  If it’s like your main job, this may be self-employment income. 
10. On the How often did you get income for XXX? screen, select I got it in 2021.  Note: If you have done this work in the past and plan on doing this in the future, this may be self-employment income. 
11. On the Did the XXX involve an intent to earn money? screen, select No, it didn’t involve an intent to earn money and Continue.  Note: An intent to earn means obtain (money) in return for labor or services with the intent on making a profit.

The income will appear on Line 8 of Form 1040, not subject to Self-Employment Tax, but it will be subjected to ordinary income tax.    You will need to delete this income from Schedule C if you already put it there.
