How can I fix an error generated from the 1099-K reconciliation section?

[zenide-rose]

Regarding the 1099-K reconciliation worksheet, the system is saying "Incorrect amount plus personal property loss sale amount should not exceed the amount in box 1." However, I have ZERO as the incorrect amount and EXACTLY THE AMOUNT of box 1 as the amount sold at a loss - not sure how that could add up to more than the amount in box 1. I have tried deleting and re-adding the 1099-K, and I tried processing with a zero and with a blank for the incorrect amount. The only thing I can think is that there's some glitch here, maybe with rounding. The amount is box 1 includes cents, and the gross amount carried forward into the reconciliation area is rounded (up). Any suggestions?!

I would certainly use rounded numbers on both the IRS form 1099-K entry as well as the entries to IRS form 8949 / Schedule D Capital Gains and Losses.

The detail on Schedule D must equal the total of the IRS form 1099-K's that have been entered.

The total of the proceeds column (d) must equal the total of the IRS form 1099-K or the software will give you an out of balance error message.

You may elect to delete the entries and start over.

You are able to remove the 1099-K(s) by following these steps:

• Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools.
• Click on Tools.
• Click on Delete a form.
• Find the form listed and click Delete to the right.

Remove the worksheets here by clicking the delete trashcan.

Entering the rounded amount to begin with seems to have solved this issue. Thank you!
