Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If both Forms 1099-MISC report income for the same business, you can enter the total income for the Schedule C without entering the 1099-MISC under any topic. These are information forms for the IRS to track income. As long as you report at least as much income as is reported on all 1099-MISC sent to you, you have satisfied the IRS.

 

You may need to delete (trash can icon) the 1099-MISC entries you made under the Other Income topic before you enter the income under the Self-Employment (Sch C) topic. Do not enter the income twice.

 

Finally, you do not need to enter the name or TIN of the company that sent you 1099-MISC, unless that is useful to you. If you wish to track the source of your entries, right click on the income entry box and choose "Add Supporting Details." This provides a table for you to add a description and amount, which is saved in your tax file but is not sent to the IRS as part of your return.
