1099 Misc income doesn't appear on Schedule C

My husband bowls professionally and receives 1099-Misc income from his tournament winnings. One payer lists the winnings in box 7 (non-employee compensation) which transfers to Schedule C where he can write off his expenses. Several other payers list his winnings in box 3 (other income) which does not transfer to Schedule C.

How do I get all of his bowling income to show on Schedule C, line 1 where it belongs? I run into this problem every year. Should I just "pretend" it was all reported in box 7?

If you enter the 1099-MISC under the Business Tab, income in Box 3 WILL flow to Schedule C.

Please make sure you are entering it under Business Income and not as a 1099-MISC in the Personal section.

Does this mean I have to upgrade to Home & Business from the Deluxe version?

If you are using the ONLINE version you will need the Self Employed version BUT if you are using the Downloaded version ANY of them will work ... upgrading is a suggested option for more guidance but NOT required.
