There may be an errant piece of information stuck in the business that causes the program to keep creating it since @MinhT1 has the correct advice. Follow these steps to get your program straightened out and then follow the steps listed above.

 

Desktop version: 

  1. Delete the business and the 1099-MISC form
  2. Save your return while closing the program.
  3. Update the program
  4. Open
  5. Enter the information again.

Online version:

A full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax, so sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files).

For stuck information follow these steps:

  1. Delete the 1099 MISC form, business entries,, any associated worksheets - see How to Delete  
  2. Log out of your return and try one or more of the following:
    • Don't use Internet Explorer.
    • Clear cache and cookies,
    • Sign in using a different browser.
    • Sign in using a different device.
  3. Log back into your return.
    • Enter the information again be sure to answer:
  •  no intent to earn money 
  • mark that the income is only for this tax year, 2023 . Otherwise the program will think it is recurring income and a business and you are back to where you started.
