You will need to enter both of the 1099-MISC forms on your tax
return, since copies of
the forms will have been provided to the IRS. After you have entered the
1099's, you will be returned to the Here's your work info page.
Scroll down and click the button on the left titled Add income for this work. Then take these steps:
- On the page Let's
enter the income for your [Name] work, choose the second radio button Other
self-employed income. Includes 1099-K, cash, and checks.
- On the next page Tell
us about other self-employed income for your [Name] work, enter something along the lines of "Adjustment for income double-reported on 1099's" in the box
labeled "Type of income" and enter the amount of money double-reported as a negative number.
- This will adjust your income to your actual
earnings and
resolve your issue. If the IRS happens to write to you about this,
you can explain to them what happened and provide proof, if they request
it.
