It would depend on what type of 1099 form it was, but it should have been reported on a form 1099-MISC. I so, you would follow these steps to enter it in TurboTax: Choose the Federal option on your left menu bar Choose Wages & Income Choose Other Common Income Choose Income from Form 1099-MISCWork through that section to enter your income reported on form1099-MISC.

Ok, so I enter it as my wages even though I am the beneficiary and it wasn’t really wages?
