I just entered a 1099-MISC as a W2 but can't delete it. What do I do?

Please take the following steps to delete your Form 1099-MISC information erroneously entered as W-2 information in TurboTax:

·         In your return, click on Federal Taxes tab

·         Click on Wages & Income tab

·         Under "Your income", "Job (W-2)", find the W-2 on which you want to make a change, and click on Edit/Add button

·         On next page entitled "Here's your W-2 info", you will see W-2 listed, under Employer's name

·         To the far right of the listed W-2 you will see a trash can - click on the trash can

·         A pop-up screen will display, asking if you are sure that you want to delete the W-2 - click on Yes button

·         W-2 will be deleted

To re-enter the Form 1099-MISC information correctly, in the TurboTax section designated for 1099-MISC information, please see the following TurboTax FAQ, Please see the following TurboTax FAQ, "Where do I enter a 1099-MISC?":
