I was sent a 1099 NEC for royalty payments. Those are listed in box 2 but Turbotax only has fields for boxes 1and 4. How do I enter the information listed in box 2?

    Royalties are reported on Schedule E and maybe should have been reported on Form 1099-MISC.  There is no amount in box 2, of Form 1099-NEC.

     

    Report the royalties by using the steps below.

    1. Open your TurboTax Online/Mobile return
    2. Search (upper right) > type royalties > Click 'See more' and click on 1099-MISC (complete this as though your form was a 1099-MISC, box 2 is royalties)
      1. For TurboTax Desktop: Search (upper right) > type royalties > Click the Jump to... link
    3. Continue to enter your royalty income and be sure to select 'Royalties' - do not rental
