My wife works contract as a speech therapist at a clinic. Why am I being asked for 1099-MISC info again under self-employment if already entered in income section?

Which section (income or self-employment) does 1099 need to go? I don't want it to count as income twice in separate sections.

It is best to enter the 1099 income under the business section (self employment) of the program. After you do that you will be asked to enter in any expenses you have as well for the business. Please remove the 1099 from the personal income section and enter it under the business section.
