It is possible that the form transferred from your previous year return in anticipation of you needing to enter it again for 2020.  

 

Try using the following steps to delete the empty Form 1099-MISC:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “1099-MISC” and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to 1099-MISC
  • Click on the blue “Jump to 1099-MISC” link

This will bring you to the summary of all Form 1099-MISC that are in your return.  Click Delete or the trash can icon next to each one.
