Question

Is there a way to report a Form 1099-MISC that is in error on Schedule 1, line 8z and then deduct the amount back out on Schedule 1, line 24z

I received a Form 1099-MISC for underwithheld Section 125 medical insurance for my spouse but that underpayment has been refunded to my employer.

Yes, you can enter it as a Negative Adjustment on line 8.  To do so, while in your return:

  • Click on Federal
  • Click on Income & Expenses
  • Scroll to the bottom of the "Your income and expenses" page, and click on "Less Common Income
  • Click on "Show more"
  • At the bottom of the page, next to "Miscellaneous Income..." click on Start/Revisit
  • Other reportable income - click on Start, then answer Yes 
  • Give a description and enter amount as a negative number
  • This amount will also be reported on line 8 of Schedule 1 and offset the 1099.
