My federal report is adding my 1099G income twice and displaying it in Other Income under RTAA payments. How can I delete that entry?

RTAA payments are reported on line 8z of the tax return and line 7 is for unemployment income. According to the Department of Labor, the RTAA is Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance, this TAA Program benefit is a wage supplement that is available to reemployed workers age 50 and older for up to two years and covers a portion of the difference between a worker’s new wage and their old wage (https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/unemployment/guide-to-unemployment-and-taxes/L1uajNdHDup to a specified maximum amount). A/RTAA signifies two different benefits, Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance or ATAA (enacted under the 2002 Program), and Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance (enacted under the 2009 Program and reauthorized under the 2011 and 2015 Programs, RTAA replaced ATAA). As is the case for TRA, eligibility for ATAA or RTAA is dependent on which version of the TAA Program the worker is covered under, which can be determined by the petition number of the certification of the worker group."
