Hi Dave,

It won't let me e-file, because i put the -5000 in as you suggested. Any way to fix this? Last year it was fine.

On the Wages & Income topics page, scroll all the way down to 'Other Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C'. On the next page, scroll all the way down to 'Other Reportable Income'.

Choose yes, and you'll a screen to enter Description and Amount. Continue, and the next screen shows your entry in the 'Miscellaneous Income Summary'.

You'll see the adjusting entry on Schedule 1, Line 8z.
