Question

How do I link my 1099-misc to schedule c? The "review" keeps stopping me at box 7 of the 1099 and asking me to double-click on schedule c

The directions say "Go to 'Federal' and then 'Wages & Income'. Select 'Income from Form 1099-MISC'.  Make sure to complete all the info in this area".
But there is no more info that I can add to that area.  In the form itself below these instructions, it says "Required: double-click to select the form on which to report this income:" but double-clicking does nothing.  
I have Deluxe, if that makes a difference.

Are you a statutory employee? Is the Box 13 checked?

Are you a statutory employee? Is Box 12 W-2 checked?

I'm a public school teacher.  The 1099 is from a stipend for a summer workshop.  To my knowledge, I don't fall into the statutory employee category.

What worked? I’m having this exact problem for a 1099 misc payment I got for attending a workshop- I’m in healthcare. No idea how to fix the problem

There is no reason why your 1099-Misc should be connected to a W-2, unless you have a Statutory Employee box checked on your W-2. Delete the W-2, if any. If that doesn't work, delete the Sch C also and redo it.

We want the W-2 and the 1099 Misc to not be connected. Double check that you did not check the Statutory Employee  box 12. If it is not checked, then delete the 1099 Misc. Run review to make sure the diagnostic is gone. R-enter the 1099: 
To get to the 1099-Misc:
While in your return, type “1099-misc” in the Search box and then select the “Jump to” link. This will take you directly to the section where you can enter your 1099-MISC. You will encounter these screens. Please see the screenshots below.
• Did you get a 1099-MISC?  Yes
• Fill in the "Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC" screen
• If necessary, check the box "My form has other info in boxes 1-18

Yes the 'solved answer' above solves the issue. Like it mentioned go to Federal > Delete your 1099-misc. 

Then go to the search tool above and enter 1099-misc again and fill the form.

Whether I enter 1099-MISC as Other Common Income, or Self-Employment Income section, it is being automatically populated in both places. So it is being taxed twice. I cannot proceed to e-File because it says it is missing a Schedule C. I have Box 7 non-employee compensation of 6,000.00.

I suggest deleting the 1099-Misc and starting from scratch.

 

1.  Re-enter the 1099-Misc under "Other Common Income". 

2.  If you look at the "Income & Expenses" tab you will probably see that the "Self-employment" now "needs review".  

3.  Click the "review" and you should see the description you used for the 1099-Misc.

4.  "Edit" that item and answer the interview questions. 

 

That should now tie the two and clear the "needs review" from the self-employment section which in turn clears the "Smart Check" review error.
