You need to enter your 1099-MISC as other income and complete the interview process to input what the 1099 was for.  First, you will need to delete the incorrectly entered 1099-MISC.

 

To delete and re-enter your 1099-MISC you can follow these steps in TurboTax Online:

  1. Within your return, click on Tax Tools in the black menu on the left side of the screen.
  2. Click on Tools.
  3. Click on Delete a Form
  4. Scroll down to your Schedule C and click Delete.
  5. Under Federal in the black menu bar click Wages & Income to get back into your tax returns
  6. Select the magnifying glass and search for 1099-misc. Select the Jump-to link
  7. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC?
    • If you already entered a 1099-MISC, you'll be on the 1099-MISC Summary screen, in which case you'll select Add Another 1099-MISC
  8. Enter the info from your form into the corresponding boxes
    • If you need to enter boxes 4–6 or 8–17, check My form has other info in boxes 1–17 to expand the form
