Yes, you can delete that 1099-MISC if you have not filed your tax return

If you added the 1099-MISC under Other Common Income.  You can delete it there.

If you entered it as a under Self-Employment, you can get back to a Summary section through the Income and Expenses tab.

Select Self-Employment under the full list of income.  Here you will see the business and edit.

Here's how to Delete a form if the above methods do not work:

1.  Go to Tax Tools (on bottom left-hand side of screen)

2.  Select Tools (expanded box will appear in the middle of your screen)

3.  Choose Delete a Form

4.  Find 1099-MISC entered incorrectly and select to Delete

5.  As a step to be sure the form has been deleted, run through step 4 once more to be sure the form was deleted as well as any related worksheets
