Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The procedure is slightly different for the desktop version.

1. Open your return.
2. Go to the section where you entered the 1099 MISC. Delete the entry by selecting delete.
3. Now go to the forms mode in your return and delete all forms that mention Schedule C, 1099 MISC, Schedule SE, Schedule C worksheet etc.
4. You delete by first clicking on the form in the left hand side of the screen and when it appears in your right navigational pane, select delete at the bottom of the form. Do this for each form.
5. Look in your state return and do the same if those forms appear in your state return.
6. Now let's enter your 1099 MISC again. This time I am going to suggest a different approach so you may rest assured you won't have to face this dilemma a second time.

• Select Federal Taxes>Wages and income>choose what you work on
• Scroll to the bottom of the page to less common income>miscellaneous income 1099 A....
• Scroll to the bottom of this page to Other Reportable Income
• Other taxable income, answer yes 
• Then give a brief description of the income and the amount listed.  For this, i would say 1099 MISC-Legal Services Benefit and then list the amount of the 1099 MISC.
