Deductions & credits

I'm 95% sure that is where I reported the negative amount before, but it was being flagged as invalid when I went to transmit the forms.  "Negative number not allowed".

 

I took a different approach, and deleted that negative amount.  

 

Instead, I went back to the 1099k, and checked the box that said "this amount is too large".  (I don't recall the exact verbiage, but I was then able to enter a value for the amount by which it was too large--the entire amount.)

 

Hopefully this is legit - technically it WAS too large, and I captured it more accurately by entering the gambling winnings/losses in the interview section...

 

After I made the above changes, my federal and state taxes didn't change.  When I initially removed the negative value for other income, the federal tax went WAY up, but after adjusting the 1099k form, it went back down.
