Miscellaneous income

[roseanne]

I entered my 1099 misc as income and it is part time work for a caterer that is an LLC and it is treating it as if I am the owner. I am not the owner. How do I enter this

As far as the IRS is concerned you are "self-employed" when you receive pay for work from which no tax, Social Security or Medicare is withheld by an employer.  Your pay is reported on a 1099Misc and you are the one who has to pay all of your own SS,Medicare and income tax on those earnings.  The self-employment tax you owe is for Social Security and Medicare.  You may also owe ordinary income tax, depending on how much you made.

When compensation for your work or services is reported to you in Box 7 of a 1099-MISC ("Non-employee compensation"), the IRS regards you as a self-employed "business", and you report that income (and allowable related expenses) on Schedule C of your tax return.  YOU are the owner of that self-employed business, not whoever paid you.

Why does MISC income from investments create the same amount in Sch C?  The income was derived from investment, not work.
