Self employed

You did fine entering the 1099-MISC into the 1099-MISC section.  Leave that there.  Then you need to make sure that the self-employed income that you entered elsewhere does not include that 1099-MISC income.  SO you only entered it once.

 

The 1099-MISC section is then asking you for expenses directly related to that income.  The expenses entered here should not be expenses that you already entered with your other self-employed income.  Only expenses that are directly related to that 1099-MISC.  For example, if you had to pay a filing fee to apply for the grant or something.  But you are correct - if you entered the expenses in both places then you are double dipping.  So delete them from one or the other so they are only entered once.
