No, it is not necessary at all to enter the 1099-MISC in the return.
Here is the same solution from another expert (IreneS) that does not mention adding and subtracting the 1099-MISC:
You can enter the sale of stock reported on a 1099-MISC using these steps:
- Click on Federal > Wages & Income
- In the Investment Income section click on the Start/Revisit box next to Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other.
- If you have already entered some investment sales, you will see a screen Your investment sales summary. Click on the Add More Sales link.
- On the screen, OK, what type of investments did you sell? click the Other box and then click Continue.
- Continue through the screens, entering the requested information.
