I only have 1099-MISC, but it's not self-employed. Why did my return upgrade from Premium to Self-employed?

A 1099-MISC often but not always relates to self-employment income.

1099-MISC Unrelated to Self-Employment

A non-work 1099-MISC would be for things like:

• Prize money
• Lawsuit settlements
• Research studies
• Other

Here ‘s how to enter a 1099-MISC that you may have received for another reason.

• After you enter the info from your form, we’ll ask you a few questions to determine what type of 1099-MISC it is and link it to the correct income section of your return.
