Solved

I have a 1099-Misc with only box 3 & 16 with information. The money received was due to us opting out of receiving insurance through an employer. What reason would I use?

“cash in lieu of benefits”

DO NOT enter the 1099-MISC in the Self-Employment section.

Click open Wages & Income

Scroll down and if you have an entry in the Self-employment Income and expenses, you'll need to delete that

YOU NEED TO SCROLL DOWN FURTHER PAST SELF-EMPLOYENT

Scroll down to "Other Common Income" and click Show more

Scroll down to Form 1099-MISC and click Start

This section allows you to enter a 1099-MISC and select that it was not earned as Self-employment income.

I know its been a while since I first asked for help. I have the 1099-MISC where it should be reported and no longer have anything under Self Employment. Now that I am trying to file the taxes it keeps telling me that I have to complete the 1099-MISC information. The problem is, there is nothing more for me to add. There is only two boxes with information in them and those are Box 3 Other Income and Box 16 State/Payer's state no. I don't know what else they are wanting me to add when there is nothing else to add. When doing the final check before filing they are saying that I need to add something to Box 3, but there is nothing else to add.

I am at a loss 😞 Any help would be appreciated.
