I am done and paid, not it says I have a box 7 on a 1099 G that needs zeroed or removed...how the ***** do I do it?

[LenaH]

Box 7 of your 1099-G includes any taxable Department of Agriculture payments.

If this does not apply to you and you need to delete your other 1099-G income, please follow the instructions below:

1. Open your return.
2. Click Federal on the left hand side.
3. Under Your income and expenses, click Start next to Other 1099-G Income. 
4. Answer no to the question Did you receive any of these payments reported on Form 1099-G?

I received a 1099-G for my business (refund of workers compensation) and it reports the income in box 6 - taxable grants.  I can do find where I can enter income from 1099-G in my business schedule C in turbo tax.  The only place I can find to enter a 1099-G in in the personal section under other common income.  However, the 1099-G references my EIN number under Recipient's TIN not my personal SS number.  How do I enter this 1099-G in turbo tax?  Thanks so much for your help.

If the 1099-G is under your business name/EIN and you entered it in the Business Income section, you do not enter it again in the personal taxes section.

The question is - where is the appropriate place to enter this income - under my business or in the personal section.  If under business - how and where do I enter it in turbo take.  There is no option to enter a 1099-G in the business section

This can be handled a couple of different ways.  You could skip entering the actual details of the Form 1099-G and enter the amount reported on the form as Other Income in your Schedule C.  

The other choice is to enter the Form 1099-G in the Personal Income section of your return and link the form to your business.  TurboTax will help you through this process if the information is reported in box 8 instead of box 6.  

The end result is to have the amount reported as income on the Schedule C.  If there is ever a question by the IRS, you will have your documentation showing the source of the income.  

To enter the Form 1099-G in the appropriate place in the personal section of your return, use these steps:

• On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
• This opens a box where you can type in “grant” and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
• The search results will give you an option to “Jump to grant”
• Click on the blue “Jump to grant” link
• Answer the question on the screen with Yes
• Select Other Government Payments reported on Form 1099-G and enter your information

I have the same problem as the original poster, even after trying all of the steps you specified (did so several times). Maybe this is a glitch within TurboTax? Please advise how to proceed. I'm entering 1099-G for unemployment income from D.C.
