Visually, it looks like your income is doubled, but in
reality it is only being claimed one time on your tax return.
TurboTax does this because it can serve as a way for you to
be sure you have entered everything. Not
all income shown on Form 1099-MISC would be reported as self-employment income
and not all self-employment income is reported on Form 1099-MISC. By showing it to you visually in the Form
1099-MISC section, you can tell quickly if you have entered all of your forms.
