Double counted hobby income
My wife sold some items for her hobby and I entered the sale amounts under Misc Income. Then when I finished Federal taxes, TurboTax Online told me I needed to make some entries relating to this income and it it asked some kind of cryptic questions, but seemed to be asking me to list the income as mine or my wife's, so I entered the amount (again) for my wife. This actually doubled the hobby income, and now when I see the listing of incomes, Misc Income is showing double the correct amount.
I went into hobby income and it all looked correct. I completely deleted the hobby income entry and the Misc Income value dropped to the correct value, but I'm not sure what to do now. Should I just delete my hobby income and keep the "ghost" value that I can't seem to edit? Is there some way to edit that? Why did I get those questions anyways?
