Where do I show backup withholding from 1099-misc?

Because was unable to validate my tax id, backup withholding was taken out of my settlement check.  But the amount reported was the full settlement.  Where do I show the backup withholding amount that was taken out?

In order to enter the backup withholding: 

  • Find the Deductions and Credits section of your return.  
  • Scroll down on the screen until you see  the section Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
  • Select the section there called Other Income Taxes
  • The next screen will have the title Other Income Taxes.  
  • On that screen scroll down to the section called Other Income Taxes Paid in 2016. 
  • Then select Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099

I hope this is helpful,
