It depends what type of miscellaneous income you are referring to. Was it reported on a 1099-Misc?

Box 3

  • Click on Wages and Income
  • Continue and I'll Choose What I Work On
  • Scroll down to Other Common Income
  • Next to "Income from Form 1099-MISC", click the start (or update) button
  • Enter the amounts and information from your 1099-MISC

Box 7

To Enter Form 1099-MISC:

1. Select "Business" at the top of the screen

2. Choose "Continue", then "I'll choose what I work on"

3. Select "Start" next to "Business Income and Expenses"

4. Select "Edit" next to your business name

5. Scroll down to “Business Income” and select “Start”

6. Now select "Start/Update" next to "1099-MISC Income"

7. Select "+Add Another 1099-MISC


Not reported on a 1099-Misc?

Since you didn't receive a 1099-MISC, you can report other income simply by following the instructions below:

1. Sign into you TurboTax account.

2. Click Pick up where I left off (if not already open)

3. Click Federal Taxes tab

4. Click Wages & Income sub category.

5. Select I'll choose what I work on option.

6. Scroll all the way down to the Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C (under less common income) and click Start/Update.

7. Click Start/Update next to Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099 and follow the online screen prompts to enter you income.

I got this for my deceased husbands vacation pay. It was made out to the estate of my  husband. It isn't taxable $$. But it keeps taxing it. What am I doing wrong?

Vacation pay is considered taxable income, so it should be taxed.  Even though it was from your husbands estate, it is taxed the same way as it would be if you received it from your employer.
