Misc. Income

[Kathy514]

I'm trying to delete an amount under Less Common Income / Misc Income but can't find where it is. There are way too many options under Misc Income and I don't remember which category I used. The system wants to walk me through another entry, as if I'm adding something additional. How can I delete this thing!? Thanks!

Try this one:

If you did not receive a 1099-misc or W-2, then you can report this as miscellaneous income.

Select Federal Taxes, Wages & Income, I'll Choose What to Work On

Scroll to Less Common Income, and select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C

Select Other Income not already reported on For W-2 or for 1099/Other reportable income

Select Yes

Continue until you see Any Other Earned Income, and select yes, now on the next screen select other

Complete the information

Colleen, 

I'm trying to DELETE info that I entered under Less Common Income > Misc Income. It seems to be in Other Reportable Income. I can't get it to delete - on my last attempt, it doubled the number, so now Income amount (and thus, taxes due) is way off. Please help.

Sometimes, there is a garbage can next to the entry to delete it. You can also try another route.

Here's the general procedure for viewing the forms list and deleting unwanted forms, schedules, and worksheets in TurboTax Online:

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Do these steps apply to a Mac as well as PC?

This is for the Online version of TurboTax which can be used by either OS.

Understood. but you still haven't answered my question: how do I delete the # / forms. The directions she gave me don't match anything I have.

If you are trying to delete a 1099-MISC form, please try the below steps. 

1. Open your return in your TurboTax software.
2. In the search box at the top of your screen, type 1099-MISC then select the blue Jump to link.
3. The Jump to link will take you directly to the 1099-MISC Summary screen.
4. Select Edit or Delete next to the 1099-MISC you want to change or delete.
5. If you’re deleting a 1099-MISC, answer Yes when you’re asked to confirm the deletion.

If it's not a specific form you need to delete, you can search for Miscellaneous income and that will provide a jump link to return to that section of your program. If you are still having trouble deleting this amount, please reach out to TurboTax Customer Support for assistance. What is the TurboTax phone number?
