How do I take out a State ID number (Box 17) that is showing up on my 1099misc that I didn't enter?

During review, it is asking me to enter a 2 letter state code to match the state id code entered.  My 1099 paper copy is blank in those boxes and I didn't enter in the state id code that is showing up.

Try going back to the 1099-MISC input screen.  To do that:

1.       Click Federal on the left-hand side menu.

2.       Click Income across the top.

3.       Scroll down to Self-Employment and click Show more.

4.       Click Start or Revisit by Income and Expenses.

Go through every 1099-MISC that you have, and make sure boxes 15 through 20 are blank.

It's possible, too, that the 1099-MISC was put in somewhere else besides your Schedule C.  On the Income & Expenses side of Turbo Tax Self-Employed, you'll see Income from Form 1099-MISC.  It could be there.
