Where do I enter my 1099-misc information, under personal income or business income? I'm a real estate broker, self-employed. Where do I put this income, in the personal income section or the business income section? Or both?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
If the income is in Box 7 of your 1099-MISC, in TT Home & Business (or TT Online Self-Employed) it can be entered under the Business tab, in the Business Income section under Business Income and Expenses. Non-employee compensation (Box 7) is considered self-employment income, which is reported as business income. TT will generate a business return (Schedule C), on which you can deduct your allowable business expenses. To the IRS, if you have self-employment income, you're a self-employed "business."
If the income is not in Box 7, enter the 1099-MISC in the Other Common Income section of TT, on the line for 1099-MISC, and go through the follow-up questions.
You would not enter the same 1099-MISC into both places.
