Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You may be getting this error if you have a 1099-MISC on your return, with an amount in Box 3 - Other Income, and the Olympic or Paralympic prize money box was marked in error. 

Please follow the instructions below:

1. Open your return.
2. Search 1099-MISC for the magnifying glass tool.
3. Select the Jump to 1099-MISC link at the top of the results.
4. Edit your 1099-MISC.
5. Continue past the amounts entered.
6. On the page Does one of these uncommon situations apply?, please ensure that you select None of these apply and not the option above, which is This was money from Olympic or Paralympic prize money. I have attached a picture below for additional guidance.
7. Click continue.

Here is another possible solution that may be useful if you have a Form 1099-MISC associated with your Schedule C.

It could be a worksheet associated with your Schedule C. You can view your Schedule C worksheets and delete the ones that may have been added accidentally. Please be careful because deleting a worksheet is permanent.

Here's an article that will show you how to view and delete forms.
