Should my Indian tribal income on 1099MISC really be treated as self-employment and subject to that tax in addition to the federal taxes already withheld?

[HelenaC · Accepted solution]

No, it should not. Delete the 1099MISC you entered and the forms it generated. Here's how to enter it:

1. On the left navigation side, select Federal.
2. On the top of the screen, select the Wages & Income tab.
3. Scroll down and select Add more income.
4. Scroll down to Other Common Income, Show more.
5. Enter your 1099-MISC information and continue until,
6. On the Does one of these uncommon situations apply? Click on This was a tribal member gaming payment.
7. Continue through the interview until complete.
8. The amount should appear on Schedule 1, Line 21. To see that amount, see How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing?
