Investors & landlords

 I had the same issue.  What worked for me is that I kept going with the return.  Later in the form, I believe under business expenses and income,  The program all of a sudden dumped my directors fees in that category, rather than under the 1099 – MISC.  I don’t know if it will do the same thing for you, but I would suggest just keep going and then check back to see if the amount was entered in a different category.  It is somewhat confusing – – or was to me – –  but if you click on the little  information line on the 1099 – MISC category  it does tell you to wait and see if it throws it into another category to avoid double entries.  I am not sure why they do it that way, but then that is why I’m using TurboTax. I’m not an accountant, and don’t even play one on TV.  I hope this helps.
