in 2019 I could not remove the record that I had farming income and expenses.  I do not.  it has carried over to 2020.  How do I remove it?  Thanks.

To delete prior year farm income that has transferred to your 2020 return, you will need to delete the farm on your Farm Summary, as well as any associated income forms for the prior year. 

Please follow the instructions below:

1. Open your return.
2. Search farm income with the magnifying glass tool at the top of the screen.
3. Select the Jump to farm income link at the top of the search results.
4. Use the trash can icon to delete your farm listed. 

If you had a 1099-MISC income reported in a prior year that was allocated to this farm, you will need to delete that as well. It would have been carried over to this year's return as a 1099-NEC. For 2020, nonemployee compensation on the prior year Form 1099-MISC is now reported on Form 1099-NEC. 

To delete, please follow the instructions below:

1. Open your return.
2. Search for 1099-NEC with the magnifying glass tool at the top of the page.
3. Click on the Jump to 1099-NEC link at the top of the search results. 
4. Delete any 1099-NEC's entries with the trash can icon.
