Were you able to report the second 1099-MISC as Other Income? Or did it skip to "Do you have another 1099?" You need to check the box for "Other Income" in order to offset the first 1099-MISC.

 

If you're using TurboTax for Desktop, you can fix this in Forms mode.

  1. Open your return and click on the Forms icon in the TurboTax header.
  2. Find the second 1099-MISC you entered; click to open in the large window.
  3. Under Box 3, check the box for Other Income.
  4. Now open Schedule 1 in the large window.
  5. Check Line 8, which should be zero (unless you have other 1099-MISC income).
  6. You can also open Form 1040 to see if Line 8 is zero.
  7. Use Step-by-Step in the header to go back to your return.
