You only enter your total income regardless of the breakdown between the forms. In TurboTax, income from a 1099-K is included in general income as the form itself is only used to report credit card and third party transactions. However, there is a specific entry for income for a 1099-MISC. So, if the two overlap, then you enter the 1099-MISC income in full and reduce your general income (1099K) by that amount.
Example: You have $9,000 in income. You have a 1099-MISC for $5,000, but you also have a 1099-K for $5,000 of which there is a $1,000 overlap with your 1099MISC income. You would enter the 1099-MISC as reported for $5,000. You would then enter only $4,000 under general income. This way you are only reporting your true income of $9,000.
