I previously worked for the company i got the 1099 misc from as a full time employee, not self employed.they just finally got the money to pay me in 2017.

To enter your 1099-MISC:

• Go to Federal  > Wages & Income
• Scroll down to the Other Common Income section
• Click Start next to Form 1099-MISC
• Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?

At the screen "Does one of these uncommon situations apply", select "None of these apply". If you answer all 3 of the next questions no; TurboTax treats it as other income rather than self employment.

•  No, didn't involve work like main job
• Only got the income in 2017
• It didn't involve an intent to earn money
