How do I handle a 1099 received in 2018, when I already included that specific income in 2017 taxes anticipating 1099 in 2017 (it was invoice on 12/28/2017)?

Should I include the 1099 amount on 2018 taxes as Other misc expenses with details such as "Reported on 2017 Taxes" ?

No, you should not include the 1099 issued in 2017 on your 2018 taxes, since you already included that amount for 2017.

Hi, just to clarify, actually 1099 was issued in 2018 but I had already included that income and reported on taxes in 2017. There was some confusion with the vendor (because the date was 12/29/17) where I thought it would be 2017 but vendor issued 1099 in 2018

If the 1099 was issued in 2018 then it was for payment made in 2017. 1099's are not issued until after year-end for the prior year.
