1099 misc business name?

I'm doing my taxes online and when I'm filling out the section with the 1099 misc it asks "my business name if other that my name?" It then goes on to ask specific questions about my business. I did not incorporate myself or start my own business. I sub-contract from the business that sent me the 1099. What is to be filled in this section? It asks accounting and inventory questions that are irrelevant to me. Please help!

Thanks

You don't need to provide a business name if you are a unincorporated independent contractor, leave that field blank. Regarding the next questions, I would answer as follows;

1. Accounting method enter "Cash".

2. Inventory Method enter "Blank".

3. First Schedule C, "Checkmark on this box" as this is your first year!

Then proceed to enter the sales or income section, that is, the income received per the 1099-Misc and enter the appropriate expenses as considered necessary, ordinary and reasonable for your independent contracting business.

Hope that helps!!
