Since your bonus income was reported on a Form 1099-MISC instead of your Form W-2. Follow the steps below to enter the 1099-Misc in TurboTax Online.

  1. Sign into your online account and select "Take me to my return".
  2. Next, select "Federal Taxes" on the left side bar.
  3. Select "Income and Expenses  at the top of the screen.
  4. Scroll down to "Other Common Income" and click "Show more.
  5. Click "Start/Revisit" next to "Form 1099-MISC". 
  6. You can then complete the form.
  7. Enter the amount in Box 7 of the form. Your 1099-MISC may show Box 3, don't enter it there. Enter the amount in Box 7 and continue.
  8. On the next screen you will see a question that asks "Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC." Enter the description then click "Continue". 
  9. The next screen will say, "Does one of these uncommon situations apply?" For this question you will select the option that says "Employer reported this extra money on a 1099-MISC but it should have been reported on a W-2." Then select "continue".
  10. The next screen will say, "Filing Form 8919", select the option that says "Received a Form W-2 and a Form 1099-MISC, but all income reported on this Form 1099-MISC should have, been included on Form W-2 for this payer.
