In general, you should report the income from Form 1099-K as it appears. Then add a business expense for the 1099-MISC amounts you reported to your clients under Miscellaneous Expenses (ex: "Collected Rent Reported to Clients").

 

Your other option is to report the 1099-K was incorrect and enter an adjustment for the 1099-MISCs that you sent. Note that this flags the 1099-K on Schedule 1 for further IRS review.

  1. If you choose this option, check the box under Box 1a "This amount is too high..."
  2. Enter the amount to be adjusted in the box that appears as a positive number.
  3. Although the 1099-K summary page will show the gross amount, the net amount will flow to your Schedule C.
