My 1099-G is for agriculture CRP annual rental payments.  When I try to add it, Turbo Tax wants to delete it because I don't put anything for unemployment or PFL.  Where do I add it?

A 1099-G for CRP payment must be entered on a schedule F. You may be exempt from Self Employment tax with this 1099-G entered on schedule F. Be sure to review Ag Programs interview in the Farm Income section to determine the taxable portion and whether SE tax applies.

I have a 1099-G for agriculture payment from the US Dept of Agriculture.  TurboTax updated my version to self-employed in order to accept this 1099G data.  I am not self-employed.  How do I revert back to the premier version as I had all my other W2 income, deductions, and credits already entered.  I do not want to clear and start over.  Thanks.

You will need to update to Self Employed version. A 1099-G for CRP payment must be entered on a schedule F. You may be exempt from Self Employment tax with this 1099-G entered on schedule F. Be sure to review Ag Programs interview in the Farm Income section to determine the taxable portion and whether SE tax applies.

  1. Click the Federal Taxes tab
  2. Choose Wages & Income
  3. Select I'll choose what I work on
  4. Scroll to Other Common Income and click Start next to  Other 1099-G Income
  5. Yes I need to enter a 1099G for a government payment > Name and address is same (your name/address)
  6. Select Agricultural Program Payments  > Continue to follow the prompts to enter your payment

I don't get why there are 3 places to enter 1099-G income, when a 1099-G can be issued for a multitude of reasons. It would make sense to have one place to enter a 1099-G, and you'd think the program could deal with it "correctly" based on user selections and the box the income is reported in. Apparently, the DEVs assume everybody that gets a 1099-G will be unemployed, first and foremost. Bad assumption.
