Can line 8 be adjusted on my federal return? Should be 8508.00 from 1099G but it doubled it on 1040 form, can this be changed?

Can line 8 be adjusted on my federal return? Should be 8508.00 from 1099G but it doubled it on 1040 form, can this be changed?

If the amount is doubled, it's somehow entered twice, so you want to find the duplicate entry and delete it. Here's how to fix this:

 

  1. Open your return in TurboTax.
  2. Select Deductions & Credits.
  3. On the left-side menu, select Tax Tools, then Tools.
  4. Select Delete a form, from the list in the pop-up window. 
  5. Check the list for Form 1099-G (Untitled). If you see more than one 1099-G, select Delete to the right of the Untitled one. If both 1099-G forms look the same, delete the second one. 
  6. Confirm your Delete, select Continue. 

 

Next, check to see if this has solved the problem. 

 

 

  1. Select Tax Tools from the left-side menu, then Tools.
  2. Select View Tax Summary in the pop up box.
  3. Select Preview my 1040 from the left-side menu.
  4. You will see the Form 1040 with Schedules 1, 2 and 3.
  5. When you are done, select Back from the left-side menu. 

 

If this doesn't fix things for you, reply back with details of what you saw when you tried to do this.
