Go back to adjust this at the original entry. To get back there in TurboTax, follow these steps:

• First, be sure you are in your return by clicking Federal on the left menu.
• Type schedule e in the search box.
• Click the Jump to link.
• By the rental property, select Edit.
• Just below Here's your rental property info, click Edit by Rental property info. This is before INCOME is listed.
• Scroll down to Owner Info and select Edit by Required to send a 1099.
• Select Looks good.

For more details about rentals, see Real Estate Tax and Rental Property.

I tired - no joy.  So what I think has happened is I at first selected  "yes" to the answer thinking the management company might need a 1099 from me and the second question "did you or will you send 1099" got checked.  It is the second question's answer that won't go away. 

Did you make any payments that would require you to file Form(s) 1099?

Yes

No (this is checked)

If yes, did you or will you file all required Form(s) 1099?

Yes

No (This "no" is checked and I can't deselect this answer) and it keeps preventing me from filing on line.

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Hi Irene:

Could please let me know which forms should be deleted?

[AmyC]

Two options:

1. When the question asks, Did You make payments requiring a 1099? You are unable to change your selection.

The following box, Did you file all required form? Select yes. You did in fact file all required forms - none required, none filed.

Not ideal, admittedly. I would prefer to go this route if sch E is very involved. If the IRS says, where are the forms? Just say it was a typo, no forms needed.

2. Delete the sch E and re-enter everything.
