No.

Since the amount is reported in Box 3 on a 1099-MISC, the TurboTax program will not accept it entered in the Rental Section. 

The 1099-MISC needs to be reported "somewhere" on your return. 

 

Using the directions I gave above, you can enter that 1099-MISC income. 

 

Next, I am addressing the fact that I understand that this "income" was to pay for damage. 

Therefore I am suggesting you also enter the same amount (NOT ANOTHER 1099-MISC) as an expense. 

 

Because you are reporting an expense for the same amount as the income, both the expense and income are "zero'ed out".
