Question

Where do I find the section in TT to post Form 1099-NEC? I received proceeds from company stocks and dividends after I retired.

There were no prompts in TT for items 5-7 in your response. There was a screen that asks: "What type of income is on your 1099-NEC?" None of the options listed apply to my situation. On the back of Form 1099-NEC, it says that if you are not an employee, it is income from a sporadic activity or a hobby. One of the options does list "Hobby," but that seems like an inaccurate choice. Do you think that since nothing else apples, "Hobby" would be the appropriate selection?

@marvingee_02090 After you entered the income on the Form 1099-NEC, the following screen asked you a series of questions. On the screen Do one of these uncommon situations apply? There is a statement that you should have selected - This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from sporadic activity or hobby

This would have put the amount entered on the Form 1099-NEC on Schedule 1 Line 8z. The total from Schedule 1 Line 10 flows to the Form 1040 Line 9 as ordinary income.
