I entered Other Reportable Income under Misc Income and now I need to revise the figure. The online version will not show the previously entered figure or description when I use Revisit. The description and figure are in the preview of the 1040 on Sch 1, section 8z. Help please.

No, the income will not be deleted if you delete the Schedule 1.   If you don't see the entry using the step above to enter or remove Other Reportable Income, the income was entered from a different place in TurboTax.    Click on Federal (left side menu) and then click on Wages and Income at the top.   Scroll down the list to find the income.   Edit the section you see the income in.   It may be in Miscellaneous Income or from a form 1099.

To get back into the Other Reportable Income section, please follow the below steps:

  1. Open your return, then in the search bar enter Other Reportable Income.
  2. Click on the blue Jump to link. This will take you back to the "Other Wages Received" section.
  3. To get back to the other wages you entered, you will need to answer the interview questions the same way you did the first time, e.g. Did you receive any other wages? Click yes etc. 
  4. Continue through the screens until you get to where you entered the additional income and edit your information there.

No. These steps just lead to the screen to enter more income with a blank description and spaces for the amount for me and my spouse. There is no listing of the income I already entered with an edit/delete option. I know the income is there because I see it when I view Sch 1. I need real help here, please. This is frustrating as it's the last thing I need to correct before I file. If I try another option and delete Sch 1, will the income data be deleted? Then maybe I could enter the "other reportable income" again, as well as one other item I have on Sch 1 and a new, corrected Sch1 might appear? Please advise. Thanks.
