On the Income and Expenses screen, scroll down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C and select Edit/Add

 

Revisit the section where you added the income.

 

Click the garbage can next to the entry.

I could not get to the screen that you indicated.  Can you indicate step-by-step from opening the current tax return?

I am using the online version.  When I click on revisit under the section other income not already reported on a w-2 or form 1099.  There is no place to click edit/add.  Do you have any other suggestions?

 

The entry I am trying to fix shows up on 1040 line 1 and is marked HSH

This entry is for income that was earned as a household employee. This would have been reported by you as other income since it wasn't reported on a W-2. This would show up on 1040-EZ on line 1. 

 

To edit this entry, go to:

  • Wages and Income
  • Miscellaneous Income
  • Scroll to Other Income not already reported on a form W-1 or Form 1099

I'm having same issue!!  It used to be easy to change or delete entries.  I, too, want to delete/change the amount I entered for Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A and the "Edit/Add" button simply takes me to another list....NOT to a place to edit/change the amount.  Grrrr.

It's now February of 2022.  I'm unable to finish my tax return using online TT Deluxe, because I'm unable to delete the amount entered in error under INCOME, Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A.   What to do?  If anyone replies, let me know. Thanks.

What income entered in the Miscellaneous Income section are you trying to delete?  I entered income in three separate places in that section and have access to everything to add, edit or delete.

UPDATE:  I used Tax Tools in the left margin to Clear my entries mid-stream and start over with a new 1040.

This is incredibly frustrating. I am joining others in complaining about this. I accidentally double entered the amount on my 1099-Misc to the section under other income. Now there is no way to delete it!! I have "revisited" several time and clicked no on everything, but my original entry remains. Unfortunately, no one from Intuit Turbo Tax seems to monitor these comments, so it's just spitting into the wind.

If you are trying to remove a 1099-MISC and when you click revisit, it is not allowing you to delete the form, follow these steps:

 

  1. Click Tax Tools
  2. Click Tools
  3. Click Delete a Form
  4. Scroll down to 1099-MISC Worksheet for the form you'd like to delete, click Delete
  5. Confirm to Delete a form
  6. Click Return to Tax Return

That didn't work. It got rid of my 1099-MISC info, but the miscellaneous income in the last income section is still there.

 

I did start and new return and filed, but I kept the previous forms to see if there was a solution. This didn't help.

To clarify, when you started over the new return and filed, did the miscellaneous income still remain?

I entered all information again, so didn’t make the same mistake. I entered the info from the 1099-Misc in the appropriate place and did not also add it to miscellaneous income in the last earnings section.
