I entered my 1099-int correctly. At the end the checks asked my to fill in box 1 of the 1099-int info. So I put in the total. My 1099-int amount is now double

It was sitting there from last year and then a new entry was made for the interest this year.

That is how it got doubled.

You can correct this two ways:

Go back to Federal Taxes

Wages and Income and then to Interest income and EDIT and delete one entry.

or

Delete a Form in on-line
A.     Go to Tools in left side of screen and click on Tools
B.    A box titled: Tool Center will open and below the 3 boxes is: Other helpful Links…
C.    Click on the 3rdt one: Delete a Form
D.    Go to Form you need to delete and click on it and confirm (to get rid on one 1099INT)
