According to the instructions for Form 1099-G, box 6, since the grant relates to an activity for which you are required to file Schedule F, do not enter the amount on the 1099-G entry form. Instead, report the taxable amount as income on the applicable Schedule F.

 

You can enter this income using these steps:

  1. Open your return and go to Wage & Income.
  2. Click Update next to Farm Income and Expenses.
  3. On the Farm Summary, click Edit next to your farm name.
  4. Continue through the interview pages until you come to "Any Other Income or Credits?." Do not enter anything under "Form 1099-G Summary" or "Agricultural Program Payments."
  5. Enter the amount in Form 1099-G, box 6 on the screen, Any Other Income or Credits? This avoids the form error this income.
  6. Continue to the end of the section.

If you entered Form 1099-G in another area of your return, go there and delete the 1099-G entry.
