How do i add my one time tax rebate payment to my Federal income tax when filing?

[JohnW152]

You may or may not need to, but provide more information so that we might be able to help -- What rebate are you referring to?

The TurboTax Help article Is my state stimulus payment taxable? may provide you with helpful guidance.

Hello, 

 I'm talking about the 1099-MISC I got from the MN Department of Revenue. 

It's for 260.00 and it says required to add as taxable income when filing.

[JohnB5677]

You will post it in the Wages & Income section of your tax return.

Start at Wages and Salaries

• Other Common Income Tax refunds, 1099-G, 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, 1099-K
  • Select Form 1099-MISC
• Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC
  • Give the best reason you can
• Does one of these uncommon situations apply?
  • None of these apply
• Did the other involve work that's like your main job?
  • NO
• How often did you get income for other?
  • I got it in 2023
• Did the other involve an intent to earn money?
  • No
• Continue if you have additional 1099-MISC's

This will successfully pest the 1099-MISC and not charge you employment taxes like Social Security and Medicare.

Thank you for your response. So it says to accurately report this income, 

you'll need to upgrade to deluxe. I've always just filled using the free addition. 

So off topic but by upgrading could I also get help adding Facebook income that 

 I got no W2 for?

[Cynthiad66]

Yes, you can get assistance in preparing the return.  You can online Live assistance right inside the program. You may need assistance because the Facebook income may require completing a Form Schedule C.  If your Facebook income is a business you will need to upgrade to TurboTax Home and Business.

Choose the TurboTax Deluxe edition if you are looking for deductions related to your job or home ownership. For deductions associated with stocks or rental properties, choosing the TurboTax Premier would be the best option. If you have a home business or are self-employed, TurboTax Home and Business would be ideal.

Thanks for your response. My Facebook income is not a business. It's from a tribute celebrity

fan page I run. I went under wages earned as a household employee and it said only report income 

in the box less than $2,600. Mine is $1,898. So can I use this?

[JohnW152]

This sounds like self-employment income, and it needs to be reported on your return.  See the TurboTax Help article Am I considered self-employed? for more information.

You're not a household employee based on this income.  A household employee is someone who's paid to provide domestic services in another person's household.  See the TurboTax Help article Who is considered a household employee? for more information.

You probably won't receive a Form 1099-K from Facebook. Form 1099-K shows the gross amount of reportable payment transactions on Facebook, but online marketplaces are only required to send Forms 1099-K to taxpayers who receive over $20,000 and have over 200 transactions.

However, the form may be available where you find your account data on Facebook.

To enter your self-employment income and expenses in TurboTax Online:

1. Select Tax Home in the left pane
2. On the Hi, let's keep working on your taxes! screen, select the dropdown to the right of Wages & Income
3. Select Start, Pick up where you left off, or Work on other income, as appropriate
4. Scroll down and select the dropdown to the right of Self-Employment
5. Select  Edit, Edit/Add or Revisit to the right of Self-employment income and expenses
6. From here, you can input any information necessary

Thanks for your response. Appreciate it!

[Josie10]

That was very helpful.  However, I cannot proceed without the tax id of the payer.....   Alabama Dept of Revenue.  Any way to get that number or work around it???

Thanks.

[DawnC]

What kind of tax form or 1099 do you have @Josie10?  - The tax ID should be on your 1099 - G, MISC, or NEC.   If you don't have a tax form, use other reportable income to report income.  

• With your return open, go to Federal then Wages & Income.
• Open the Less Common Income section and select Start or Revisit next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
• On the next screen, select Start or Revisit the very last entry, Other reportable income.
• Answer Yes on the Any Other Taxable Income? screen.
• On the next screen, enter a description and then enter the total USD amount.
• Select Continue, then Done.
