What form, what line?

On what form does one find the line for "other deduction"?  (my 1099-NEC is more than I received in 2024 because of income earned and reported in 2023.) I'm using a tax program that won't allow me to put a negative amount on line 6 of Schedule C.

What form, what line?

Thanks for the swift reply. I couldn't find a line for "Miscellaneous Expense", would listing the reduction on line 27a of Schedule C and then explaining the decrease in Part V be acceptable?

You are correct.  Line 6 is not a location for a deduction or reduction of your self employment income, rather additional income not related to your actual business activity. You could list it as a 'Returns and Allowances' however, 

 

I would advise to use Miscellaneous expenses and enter a description such as 'income reported and received in 2023'. Either way, as long as your income is accurate for your tax return will be sufficient.  Keep all of your books and records to show you already reported the income in 2023.

 

Depending on how the payer keeps their books and records, it could happen where they report it in a different year than you actually received it.

What version are you using?  You need Online Premium to enter expenses or any of the Desktop installed programs.

Yes that’s where it goes.  Other Expenses.   Just say Income reported in previous year or 2023.
