my wife received numerous 1099-MISC forms, with income in the box 6 "medical and health care payments".

I don't see a box 6 input available on the turbotax form?? I have never had this problem in 10 + years of using turbotax

When you get to the 1099-MISC screen, click My form has other info in boxes 1-18 to open the field for Box 6, Medical payments. (Click the first screenshot below to enlarge it for reference.)


To get to the 1099-MISC screen:

  • Open (continue) your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in and click Take me to my return.)
  • Click My Account (top right of your screen).
  • Select Tools.
  • In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
  • In the search bar, type 1099-misc.
  • In the results box, highlight 1099-misc, then click GO.
  • Click Yes if asked Did you get a 1099-MISC? If you land on the 1099-MISC Summary, click +Add another 1099-MISC.
  • On the Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC screen, scroll down under the Box 3 field and click My form has other info in boxes 1-18. (Click the second screenshot below for reference.)

That box does not exist, or at least does not exist on this year's version of TurboTax Self-Employed.  Can you please give instructions then on what to do for this year's version?
