I entered the 1099-misc under 1099's expecting it to be reduced when I entered additional royalty information, but it basically doubled the income. The line number for state tax withholding is 16 on 1099Misc. form and in TurboTax. However, it is line15 on royalty side in TurboTax. The state side did not recognize that it had been withheld when entered on royalty side. But if I left it in 1099 side only, I couldn't report other expenses. My solution was to put only state withholding in the 1099 side and rest of info in royalty side. I think this is a bug in the program, and it is the first one I've seen in 20 years using TurboTax.
I don't understand.

I'm sure this is not a completely answer to your question, please contact us again and provide some additional details.
If you go to the rental and Royalties income section, there is also a 1099 misc form there too. The line numbers are wrong on that one. Last year when I entered the 1099Misc it transferred the income to the royalties automatically, thus not doubling the income.
Since the 1099 misc under royalties uses line 15 instead of 16 for state tax withheld, it didn't pick it up on the state return, so I entered only the withholding on the 1099misc income and the rest on the 1099misc under royalties since that is where the expenses for the royalties can be reported.
