I'm getting an error during my Smart Check that states, "A link to schedule c or E must be entered...." How do I do this? My Sch E is completed?

the error continues, "to associate this amount with the proper tax form, double-click in the field provided for the form you want to link this amount to."

"to associate this amount with the proper tax form, double-click in the field provided for the form you want to link this amount to."

 

This wording suggests to me that income has been reported which the software believes should be reported within the the IRS Schedule E Supplemental Income and Loss?

 

Have you reported a royalty payment on an IRS form 1099-Misc that should be directed into the IRS Schedule E?

 

Or, perhaps you have reported an IRS form 1099-K that should be reported in Schedule E?  Please clarify?

For some reason after input it was duplicated. When I went back and resolved it fixed the issue. Thanks all.
