Trustee Income (non-professional) - where to report income

[Sfrench40]

I received a 1099-Misc from our family trust. All the info says to report as Other Income on the 1040 but in TurboTax is explicitly says to NOT use that area for 1099-Misc income. Turbo Tax Help contradicts the software. Do I ignore the software and enter it there anyway or do I enter somewhere else? When I tried entering as a 1099-misc, it is calculating SE tax! I found where I can blackout the SE tax on the SE Tax Adjustment worksheet. Is that right? Either way seems like it could get flagged.

Help!

Which box on the 1099-MISC has a figure? It should be Box 3 and that can be entered as miscellaneous income in this instance.

You really do not need to go hunting for a 1099-MISC form to complete since it does not get transmitted to the IRS with your return.

Box 3 Other Income.

Ok. That is where I have it now under the "Less Common Income"...Miscellaneous Income section even through Turbo clear says do not input 1099-Misc income there. 

But, doing it there prevents the Self Employment tax from being added.
