There is a way to back out income in the TurboTax program.

Report the 1099 as reported, the IRS will want to match it. 

Then use a very clear description of why you are backing out income, in your case something like "Shared 1099" 

Keep clear records with your tax file.

 

After entering the 1099-MISC, please follow these steps:

 

Sign into your account and your return

Type   other reportable income   into the Search Box and click the “Jump to other reportable income” link

-OR-

Click Federal on the left side-bar

Click Wages & Income along the top

Scroll down to the last section Less Common Income and click Show more to open drop-down

Scroll down to last section Miscellaneous Income and click Start

Scroll down to the last section Other reportable income and click Start

Enter a description such as “Shared 1099” and the amount as a negative number (be sure to make it negative)

This negative amount will be entered on line 21 to lower the taxable amount of the 1099
