If the 1099-MISC was entered in a way that indicated it was from self-employment, TurboTax may have calculated self-employment tax on that income. You would see an amount on the return for "Other taxes, including self-employment tax, from Schedule 2, line 21" on line 23 of the 2022 Form 1040.
You can enter Form 1099-MISC and identify that it was not income from working so that it doesn't get misclassified as self-employment income:
- Select Income from Form 1099-MISC under Wages and Income.
- Enter the payer information and dollar amount
- Enter a description for the payment
- When asked about Uncommon Reasons, select that none apply or select one that adequately explains the reason
- When asked about the frequency of payment, select received in 2022
- When asked "Did (description) involve an intent to earn money?" answer No (that is, it is not earned income and therefore not subject to self-employment tax)
Form 1099-MISC should not have been used by the payer to report the amount if it represented scholarship or fellowship grants. Scholarship or fellowship grants that are taxable to the recipient because they are paid for teaching, research, or other services as a condition for receiving the grant are considered wages and should be reported on Form W-2.
