If you entered the amount first as a 1099-MISC and then answered the questions in the royalties section, it can show twice. You need to delete your duplicated entry:

1. From inside the return, scroll down to Tax Tools on the bottom of the left side menu.

5. Click Delete to the right.
6. Confirm your Delete.

This may delete just one instance and leave the other as it should be. If it does, you are all set. 

If you need to re-enter the royalty:

1. Select Federal from the left side menu.
