The bottom line is that the employer has incorrectly issued a 1099-NEC - but probably did it purposely in order to avoid paying the employer's share of social security and medicare taxes.  So, I see one of two options:   1.  File an extension, and go back to the employer to see if they will correct it (this is unlikely, but you can give it a shot).  At a minimum, you will be responsible for the additional income tax and your husband's portion of social security and medicare tax if you get them to change it so that a corrected W-2 is issue.    2.  Treat it as Schedule C income.  It is clearly earned income on which income taxes, social security and medicare taxes are due.  If you treat it as other income, rather than Schedule C income, so that medicare and social security taxes are not paid, expect a letter from the IRS in a year or two explaining why medicare and social security taxes haven't been paid on this. ...

For a multistate muni bond fund, the brokerage firm should supply you with supplemental material showing the percentage of dividends paid broken down by state.  Check online or the 1099-Div mailings you received. The only thing relevant is your home state (if it has an income tax) and 'More than One State'. Figure out the income from your home state from that supplemental material - the rest is 'More than One State'. If you live in CA, it is a bit more complicated. ... View more

I think TT does handle it properly.  If you enter it in the investment section (not in the sale of home section).  You indicate the sale was not reported on a 1099-B. TT asks the usual questions - date of sale, date of purchase, sales price, basis, etc.  You will come to a screen: Select Any Less Common Adjustments That Apply. Check the Box "Any loss from this sale is not deductible...", and the radio button "This is personal use property".   That should do it. ... View more
