Error check - Colorado 1099-G Link

I received two 1099-G forms from the Colorado for state refunds for 2019 and 2020.  I'm working with the 2021 Desktop version.  in the Smart Check it gives me the following error:

"Form 1099-G (Colorado Department of Revenue): Link to Schedule C or Schedule F must be entered.  To associate this amount with the proper tax form double-click not he field provided for the form you want to link this amount to.

 

I don't understand this instruction.  I don't see any such field in any of the screens that I'm being walked through.  I don't know where to go to to correct this.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Thanks!

Hi - Yes, I've entered the amounts from my forms through this workflow.  I have the Update button and am amount in blue.  However, when I walk through this workflow, I don't find anything that matches the error description.

 

Thank - any other thoughts on how to get past this error?

It really sounds like you are entering the 1099-G as a Grant, not tax refund. 

A grant can be allocated to a business, but a state refund wouldn't be. 

 

The screen @FangxiaL shared is where that would be entered, did you also see the screen I am sharing? 

 

(If you enter in the section JUST below Refunds, it will show as a Grant)

 

Could you please switch to FORMS and check your Schedule 1? 

Refunds are listed on Schedule 1 line 1

 

If you entered as a Grant, please delete and re-enter the 1099-G

OK - got it.  That helped.  I had originally tried to enter those under the "Other 1099-G Income" by mistake.  There wasn't an amount there, but when I clicked Update, there was still an incomplete entry that I needed to clear out.  Once I cleared it, the error is resolved.

 

Thanks both for the help to point me where to look!
