Drake Tax - 1040 - Erroneous or Unneeded Schedule C
Article #: 14935
Last Updated: October 21, 2024
If you have a return that continues to create a Schedule C after it has been deleted in Data Entry, it is being generated as a result of entries that are present on the 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC.
If this issue is occurring, view the return and select the Schedule C. When you select this form, view the Business Information section at the top of the form and review line C Business Name. If the business name says "Form 1099 from ___" then it was generated from a Form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC.
Note If you have more than one 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC, you will need to review each of them to ensure that none are erroneously pointed to the Schedule C.
To remove the unnecessary Schedule C, go to screen 99M or 99N and complete one of the following:
-
Remove or change the entry in the For drop-down at the top of the screen(s).
-
Delete the screen(s) by pressing Ctrl + D if applicable.
-
Complete the screens as applicable.
Note If you complete the first or second option above, you will need to delete the Schedule C screen that was created in Data Entry before viewing or calculating the return.
