Can I correct an entry for a 1099-MISC?

[jim-sue-haigh]

I incorrectly entered answers for a 1099-MISC. Somehow TurboTax thinks it's for a rental property and wants an address. It is actually for royalties. How can I get back to it to correct it?

If the Form 1099-MISC had income in box 2 that was royalty income, the program would have asked you the type of royalty income received, such as from a natural resource or from self-employment.  You had to choose which one.  Then the program would have selected to start a new Schedule E as Royalty property.

Go to the Schedule E section under Rental Properties and Royalties to complete entry for this royalty property

You should delete your original entry of the form. Start fresh and enter the 1099-MISC after you are in the rental/ royalty property area. Select the correct answer to royalty.
