Where do I enter a 1099-MISC from unclaimed funds check for unclaimed funds from a Growth Fund on my taxes?

The 1099-MISC has box 3 "other income" filled out with an amount and nothing else in the other boxes.  

When I tried to add it to "Other common income", the system converted it to "self employment income and expenses" which it is not.  "Less Common Income" says to only enter it there if I have not received a 1099.  So I have no idea where to enter it.

To enter your 1099-MISC with Box 3:

  • Go to Federal  > Wages & Income
  • Scroll down to the Other Common Income section
  • Click Start next to Form 1099-MISC
  • Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?

At the screen "Does one of these uncommon situations apply", select "None of these apply". If you answer all 3 of the next questions no; TurboTax treats it as other income rather than self employment.

  •  No, didn't involve work like main job
  • Only got the income in 2017
  • It didn't involve an intent to earn money
