Question

I'm entering 1099-INTs. There is no info in other boxes than Box 1. The box that says "My form has info in other boxes" keeps getting automatically checked.

IF the 1099-INT was imported, there may be some zeros or non-printing characters in some of the other boxes.

Options

1)  leave it checked for the moment...but go to each of the boxes below 1 and make sure they are entirely blank....no zero's...nothing....put cursor in each field and hit delete and backspace keys a few times.

or

2)  Delete the 1099-INT entirely, and then re-enter it manually (start one and hit the "I'll type it in myself").  Just enter only the box 1 value when you do that.  Don't import it if that was done initially.
