Income from a financial institution coupon

[jerome_okeefe]

I received money from investment in a financial institution's coupon note that was reported on line 3 of 1099MISC.  TurboTax sent this monetary amount to business income and generated a Schedule C.  Since this isn't a business, can I delete Schedule C and just report this as additional income, or do I need to treat this money as gained from a self-employed business?

As the income is report in box 3 - Other income, it should be reported as Other Reportable income. It is not subject to self-employment tax.

In TurboTax, open your return and follow these steps:

• Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Wages and Income on top of the screen
• Scroll down to All Income, locate the Less Common Income section
• Click Show more and click Start next to Miscellaneous Income at the bottom
• On the next page, click Start next to Other Reportable Income.
