Under Wages and Income, scroll down to Income from 1099-MISC.

  • Enter the 1099-MISC exactly as printed, and then Continue.
  • Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC: REASON
  • Select None of these apply, then Continue.
  • Select No, it didn’t involve work….. and Continue.
  • Select No, it didn’t involve an intent to earn money, then Continue.
  • Do you have another 1099-MISC?Select No, then Continue.

 

Click the DONE button, and that does it.
