Never received a 1099misc. I added 1099misc. It asked for an EIN. Added it as other income and it sent me to form 8919 which is not for self employment. What do I do?

So it seems that, when you entered the 1099 the first time , you made some further entries about what the money was for.  Since you are using the Desktop version, you should be able to go to forms on the upper right and then see if there is still a 1099-MISC worksheet showing or an 8919.  You could click on both, one at a time, or whichever is still showing, and then select to delete the form at the bottom of the screen.

Delete the 1099-MISC entry.  enter it simply as general revenue for self-employment, meaning income for which no 1099-MISC was received.

I did that and it asks me to fill out an 8919 which does not apply to self-employment income. What do I do there?
