1099-MISC question

[earsm007]

I earned income from a direct marketing company and received a 1099-MISC.  Turbo Tax asked me twice about the same 1099-MISC.  I do not earn money from this direct marketing company EXCEPT for what was on the 1099-MISC.  From reading the tax guides, it looks like I can list this within the same questions that cover the 1099-NEC forms and not a part of a Schedule C.    Can someone confirm this for me?   

I am not sure why Turbo Tax asked me twice for the same information.

You can enter the 1099-MISC in TurboTax as "Other Common Income," which is reported on line 8 of 1040 Schedule 1 and will not generate Schedule C or SE tax.  Please use the following steps:

1. Click on Federal > Wages & Income.
2. Scroll down to the Other Common Income section. 
3. Click on the Start/Revisit box next Form 1099-MISC. 
4. On the screen Did you get a 1099-MISC?  click on the Yes button.
5. On the next screen, Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC, enter the information from the 1099-MISC.
    
6. On the following screens, answer the following questions:
   • Did it involve work that's like your main job? No.
   • You got it in 2020
   • No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money

 7.  Continue through the rest of the interview screens. The income will appear as Other Income.
