You must answer the follow-up questions correctly to have it reported as other income rather than self-employment income. Am I Self-Employed?
Under Other Common Income, select Start or Revisit next to Form 1099-MISC. Enter your 1099-MISC info on the Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC screen and click Continue. If you’re editing a 1099-MISC you already entered, select Edit next to your form.
- On the Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC screen, enter a description of the other income.
- Select None of these apply on the Does one of these uncommon situations apply? screen.
- Select No, it didn’t involve work like my main job on the Did the involve work that's like your main job? screen.
- Select I got it only in 2023 on the How often did you get income for? screen.
- Select No, it didn’t involve intent to earn money on the Did the work involve an intent to earn money? screen.
- Select No on the Do you have another 1099-MISC? screen.
Answering differently to any of these questions will imply self-employment and generate Schedule C.
