Overview

Some types of income don’t fit neatly into standard IRS forms. For those cases, 1040.com provides a screen called “Other Miscellaneous Income” where several common income types are listed, even though they don’t have specific IRS forms.

Still, some types of income fall outside even those categories. If you have one of these income outliers, you can manually enter a description by following the steps below.
