Question

I received a payout for my vacation from a previous employer which was reflected on a 1099-MISC. The 1099 lists it as other income on line 3 and no taxes were withheld. Turbotax is asking me to count it as self employed income and use a schedule C when it should not be since it came from my previous employer.

    We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question?

     

    Did she receive a W-2 in 2024 as well, @gtrgreg?  Or was her last paycheck in 2023?
