Why did turbo tax double my interest under income?

 

Get your taxes done using TurboTax

A)  First, go back to the 1099-INT area and see if you see the duplicated $$ on a 1099-INT form and delete the duplicate.

Not there?

B)  Do the following to see if you can find it.

1) go to the left-side navigation menu, click on:

<"Tax Tools"

<<<Tools

Then select <<<"Delete a Form" from the pop-up endow.

2) scroll down the list of forms look for a "Schedule B - Form 1099-INT ( Untitled) " and hit the "Delete" along side of it.

3) then scroll to the bottom to find the "Continue with my Return" button.

______________________

4)  IF that doesn't work, repeat, but :

.........delete the entire Schedule B (that was the only way someone else could get it "gone"),

................ but then you will need  to re-enter all your 1099-INT, 1099-DIV ( and 1099-OID forms....if any).

Please Let me know if that works.

Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am having the same issue. However, I did not enter the form twice. I only see on entry for my 780.42 interest income and turbo tax is reporting it as 1560.84. Why is this happening?

To get your 1099-INT to only report the interest once. Remove the 1099-INT. Remove it by going to your entries and click the trashcan. Then log out and back in, then re-enter your 1099-INT.

I am having a similar issue. My interest income is less than 100 but TurboTax is reporting it as 900.

Delete the 1099 INT and see if it still shows interest.  Enter it again manually.   If you imported it it may have imported wrong.
