I receive a 1099-Misc for free internet service I receive. I do not get any money or other income from this, I just get my internet service for no cost. How do I enter this?

You can report it as other income on Sch 1 line 8. Here's how to enter it in TurboTax.

Click the Federal Taxes tab ( Personal in the Home & Business version)
Click Wages & Income. (Personal income in the H & B version)
On the screen "Your 2020 Income Summary," scroll all the way down to the last section, "Less Common Income."
Click the Start or Update button for the last topic, "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C."
On the next screen, "Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income," scroll down and click the Start or Update button for the last topic, "Other reportable income."
The next screen asks, "Did you receive any other taxable income." Click Yes.
On the next screen, "Other Taxable Income," enter a description and the amount. Click Continue.
On the next screen click Done.

The income will be reported on Sch 1 line 8 with the description that you entered.
