Short term rental cancellation fees reported on 1099-MISC OMB box 3 other income

[skhe2116]

My management company reported Short term rental cancellation fees reported on 1099-MISC OMB box 3 other income.  When entering this form into Turbo Tax Rental Properties and Royalties it shows as Self Employment earned income and is subject to FICA and Medicare Taxes.  I think it is supposed to be unearned income but don't know how to designate it as such.

Contact the issuer and tell them rental income goes in box 1, this includes the rental cancellation fees you collected. They should issue a new 1099-MISC with the income in the correct box.
