I want to report the income and then deduct it back off.  I cannot figure out how to do this using turbo tax - what section would I use to deduct it?  Please be specific if you can on where to deduct it.

Please go to Federal Taxes>Wages & Income>Less Common Income>Miscellaneous Income>Other Reportable Income.  Answer "yes" on the next screen.  On the screen after that, enter an explanation.  Enter a negative number for the total amount of the 1099-MISC forms.

this results in over $1000 higher taxes because I entered it as a business income and subtracted it as personal.
