Medical Dinners

[gnair]

My Son , who is a Resident, attended a dinner given by Phama copmany and was given a check for $500.

He did not receive a 1099 and he does not have any other documents relating to the dinner.

How should this be reported ?

[AliciaP1]

It should be reported as Miscellaneous Income.  To enter this in TurboTax Online you can follow these steps:

1. Sign in to TurboTax and open your return to the Wages and Income section
2. Scroll down the Wages and Income page and select Less Common Income
3. Select Start next to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
4. Scroll down to Other reportable income and select Start 
5. Choose Yes on the Any Other Taxable Income? screen
6. In the Description field, enter Dinner
7. In the Amount field, enter the $500, select Continue and then Done

I tried that it is asking for the company name which I dont' have

[TeresaM]

I think you may be in the Other Common Income section which will ask which company of the self-employment will match with the income.
Please delete this, if this is the case.

You will want to scroll all the way to the bottom for Less Common Income and follow the directions from @AliciaP1. Then it will treat it as Other Income and not self-employment. 

If this does not completely solve the problem, please let us know which section gives the message, so we may better assist you.
