the issue with the answer is that the company that mailed the check that wasn't received until following year. The 1099 the company sent me included the amount of the check. having them re-issue a 1099 is not going to happen. I am cash basis so I won't count the check as income for the year the check was mailed and the amount included in the 1099. I need to deduct this amount from last years taxes. In addition this will match my bank deposit records for prior year and year the deposit was made. Where in Turbo tax would I deduct the amount of the check that was deposited in the following year.
