What am i supposed to do with this form and do I seriously have to upgrade to deluxe to enter this when there is apparently no income to be reported, just a $10 federal tax withheld? And what on earth is this even for or where did it come from if there is no income?
To benefit from that additional $10.00, you do not have to upgrade to Deluxe. You can add it to your return using the Free Edition.
From Tax Home Click on the Federal Tab;
then Deductions and Credits.
Scroll Down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Click on Other Income Taxes
And scroll down to Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099
You would need to contact the issuer-US Bank to gain more information about why that form was sent to you.

It appears that US Bank issued a lot of 1099-MISC in error in January. I received a similar form from them; when I called them, they could not explain why I had taxes withheld but no income reported, other than a random guess that I had received a promotion for using a credit card with them (I do have a credit card with them, but no records of any gains due to any promotions). Then in late February, I received a corrected 1099-MISC from them that corrected all boxes to 0; of course, this happened to hit my mailbox AFTER I filed, so now I'm on the hook to provide an amended return to quit claiming that the original 1099-MISC counted as taxes already paid. :(
