Amazon Vine 1099-NEC report as hobby

Forum|Forum|1 year ago

I received a 1099-NEC from Amazon for Amazon Vine reviews. This is not compensation and I reported as hobby income, but the tax return simply says "Nonemployee compensation from 1099-NEC Income" on Schedule 1. Turbotax online version does not provide an option to select “This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from a sporadic activity or hobby". How do I specify Amazon Vine review 1099-NEC as a hobby? I don't want the IRS to confuse with as income.

Don't enter it as a 1099-NEC. Delete that entry and then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the 'Wages and Income' section to 'Miscellaneous Income.' Once you click on that click on 'Hobby Income and Expenses' on the next screen and enter the information there.
