Question

I received a Form 1099-Misc from my employer for imputed income. Turbo Tax keeps generating a Scheduled C. I am not self employed. What should I do?

Completing a Schedule C got me into trouble with SSA as I am on SSDI.  A Schedule C is not an option.  What next?

You can report it as "Other Income".  to enter in TurboTax, while in your return:.

  • Click on Search and Type "Other Income" in the search window, and hit "Enter"
  • Click on "Jump to Other Income"
  • Enter the information from your Form 1099-MISC, and click on Continue 
  • Enter a description such as "Imputed Income" and click on Continue
  • On the screen with "Does one of these uncommon situations apply?", indicate "None of these apply"
  • Answer "No..." to "Did the Imputed Income involve work that's like your main job?"
  • Answer "I got it in 2023" when asked "How often did you get income for Imputed Income?"
  • Answer "No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money."
