Solved
there are a number of imported documents from Merrill Lynch that have information, but there is one 1099 misc form that has no data and no attribution as to where it might have come from so it seems like the simplest solution would be to just delete it, but I am not sure the best way to do that.
If you open that form, which apparently you have since you see there is no data, look at the bottom of the form and you will see some options. One of them is to delete the form. Happens to me every year.
