Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It depends.  If you are correct, that the company included the payments in your wages and they are included in the W-2, then you would not be required to report the income twice.

Double check your pay stubs to be sure your W-2 wages actually reflect the amount you received for 'bonding' time. If you are convinced and have proof you can keep with your tax records you can enter the 1099-MISC as other income and then also as a negative income amount.

When you are signed into your TurboTax Account use the following steps to enter the income:

1. Click Tax Home (left panel) > Select Income and Expenses > 
2. Scroll down to the Other Common Income section. 
3. Click on the Start/Revisit box next Form 1099-MISC. 
4. On the screen Did you get a 1099-MISC?  click on the Yes button.
5. On the next screen, Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC, enter the information from the 1099-MISC, box 3.

Once you have entered the income you can use the following steps to enter it as a negative figure which will result in zero income being added to your other income.

1. Click on Tax Home (left panel)
2. Scroll down to Less Common Income section.
3. Click on Start/Revisit box next to Miscellaneous Income.
4. Scroll to Other Reportable Income Click  Start/Revisit.
5. Enter Description and negative amount (ex. -500).
