1099-MISC. My state govt employer sent me to training. The private company giving training reimbursed me for travel/hotel and sent me a 1099-MISC. How do I enter?

do I really have to pay income tax on this as "self-employed"?
Best answer by DianeW777

No.  This income should be reported as other income and the expenses can be used under job expenses for itemized deductions.  It is not self employment income.

The amount should be listed in box 3, of the Form 1099-MISC but if not you can directly enter the income.

  • While you are logged into your TurboTax Deluxe account
    • Federal Taxes tab > Wages & Income > Less Common Income > Miscellaneous Income
    • Other Reportable Income > Select Yes
    • Enter the description and the amount
