Received 1099-MISC from my broker for interest from stock yield enhancement program and from dividends received when my shares were on loan. how to enter this?

Received 1099-MISC from my investment broker for interest from stock yield enhancement program (box 3, $367.18) and from dividends received when my shares were on loan (box 8, $20.90).  How do I enter this in TurboTax.  The program seems to want to turn this into a Schedule C, but I'm thinking this should just go on line 21, Other Income.  Is that right?  How do I do this?  Thx!

Yes, that is right.  You can use the steps below to enter your income so that it will appear on line 21, Form 1040.

In TurboTax follow these steps to reach this result. 

• Federal Taxes (Personal Income in TurboTax Self Employed or Home & Biz) > Wages & Income > Other Common Income > Income from Form1099-MISC > Update 
• Edit > Continue (if all your information is there and the income is in box 3)
• Type Description, if necessary
• Continue > Check None apply
• No it did not involve work
• Select got it in 2016
• No it didn't involve an intent to earn money
• Finish

This will place the amount on line 21 as it should. You can review your return by using the steps here.

Can We get an update for 2019?  This procedure in 2019 still generates a Sch C

This can be handled in the Less Common Income option. To enter in TurboTax, follow these steps:

1. From the left menu, select Federal
2. Wages & Income scroll all the way down to Less Common Income and click Show More
3. Select the last listed option for Miscellaneous Income 1099-A, 1099-C, click Start
4. Next, select the last listed option Other Reportable Income
5. Did you receive any other taxable income, click yes
6. Other Taxable Income: Enter your description and the amount and click Continue and Done. Disregard the comment "Do not enter income from Form 1099-MISC here" because this is meant to guide taxpayers reporting typical 1099-MISC income. Your case is less common and this is how you can report it in TurboTax.

THANK YOU  KathrynG3

Finally, this has been an issue for me for several years and I have had to manually override the forms.

Thank you.

You're welcome! We are happy to help!

thanks for this. 

When we follow this process do we then ensure it is not entered in the usual place they ask for 1099-MISC info and if they already have uploaded it from the brokerage account direct feed we should delete it?

[FederalInquirer]

Good point. Should the 1099-MISC be deleted after the income is entered in "Other Taxable Income"?

TIA

Yes, the information should only be entered into the program once.  To delete Form 1099-MISC see the steps below:

1. Login to your return
2. In the search bar type 1099-MISC
3. Select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the summary screen
4. From here, you can select the trash can icon to delete.
