I received amount of money due to a legal settlements that are taxable and they sent me a 2020 form 1099-MISC under (Other Common Income) I filled the 1099-MISC but when I am done it shows in the (Summary) at the end that it Needs review, Untitled, and the Amount is 0. But I entered everything correctly as it is written on the 1099-MISC that I received by mail.

Any advice why it is not showing the correct information?

Thank you

I recommend reviewing your input to ensure you answered all of the questions.

You will review this information the federal section of the program.

Select Income & Expenses
Scroll down to All Income and select Other Common Income
Select Form 1099-MISC
Proceed through the screens and review your input.
When you reach the screen titled Does one of these uncommon situations apply? be sure to mark the box that says This money was from a lawsuit settlement.
