Question

Schedule C on 1099 MISC?

I worked for a company who sent me a 1099 MISC for the income I earned in 2019. There is income in Box 3 only. I entered all the info from this form into TurboTax correctly, but the item needs review before I can file my taxes. The problem says I need to orovide a link to Schedule C or another form as something to get the info in the right place. This directs me to select the form on which to report this income and offers:

Schedule C

Schedule F 

three things that don't seem applicable (tribal earnings, gambling, etc)

and Other Income 

 

How do I navigate this? Thanks in advance!

It sounds like your earnings from the organization were reported on the 1099-Misc rather than a W-2.

 

It does sound as though you were self-employed and would likely be reporting on Schedule C of the 1040.  Schedule F reports profit or loss from farming activities.

 

Many times we see such income reported in box 7 of the 1099-Misc rather than box 3.
