Question

W2-G 1099–Nec

I’m currently unemployed but have to file taxes because I have a W2-G for my casino win. (At the time I had the taxes taken out of my win) I also have a form 1099-NEC I received from completing a certificate program in my community. Both of these incomes I earned from my personal reservation that I’m an enrolled tribal member. This means that I should be able to fill out 2024 Schedule OR- EIS for exempt income. Upon filling this out I should receive back my taxed casino winnings ($300) and not have to pay the taxes associated from my 1099-NEC right? (The money was never taken out of my check associated with my 1099-NEC)  Upon completing my taxes it says I owe a federal amount of $53 though? I would expect to just be given money back not owe anything! So what is going wrong? Is it the 1099 that is messing things up? Am I supposed to file it another way?? I need help please!

    Did you enter the 1099-MISC as Miscellaneous income?  If you have a Schedule C, it may be self- employment income.  

     

    To enter as Miscellaneous income, delete the 1099-MISC and Schedule C and Under Less Common Income select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
     

    • On the Let's Work on Any Miscellaneous Income page, select Start to the right of Other reportable income
    • On the Any Other Taxable Income? screen, select Yes
    • On the Other Taxable Income screen enter the description then the amount.  Select Continue
    • On the Other Miscellaneous Income Summary screen, select Done

    No i didn’t file it as 1099-MISC. I filed it as the 1099-NEC since that’s the form I was sent. Are my thoughts about me getting the money back correct??

    Can you see if the tax is self-employment?  Look at Line 23.  Or- what is the amount of the 1099-NEC?

     

    You can view your entire return or just your 1040 form before you e-file:

    1. Sign in to TurboTax.
    2. Open or continue your return by selecting Start or Continue.
    3. Select Tax Tools from the menu.
    4. With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:
      • Preview your entire return: Select Print Center and then Print, save or preview this year's return (you may be asked to register or pay first).
      • View only your 1040 form: Select Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then Preview my 1040 in the left menu
