How to enter a 1099-misc for a dependent.

When I select Add another 1099-MISC Turbo Tax only allows me to select from the 2 head of household.   I am not able to enter a 1099 for my child.

How to enter a 1099-misc for a dependent.

You do not enter your dependent's form 1099-MISC on your tax return.

If the amount is box 7 of your child's form 1099-MISC is more than $400, he has to file his own tax return. He will have to pay self-employment tax calculated at the rate of 15.3% on 92.35% of his income. Please indicate on his return that he is being claimed as a dependent by someone else in the Personal Info section of TurboTax.
