Go upthread to find the relevant posts or google it. Not that hard to find on the how to.
You can download the Schedule 1 called Additional Income and Adjustment to Income. The Adjustment part is where you would adjust the FNs down to zero.
I went through several pages on this thread and did not find it so I googled it and found something different.

"If the issuer of your incorrect 1099 doesn't agree with you, then things can get a bit more complicated. Your next move will involve writing a formal letter, attaching proof of your assertion, sending it to the issuer via certified mail, and retaining a copy of your correspondence for your records. If you have a specific contact at the company in question, you might get away with emailing your letter rather than getting the Postal Service involved, but if you go the digital route, make sure you're able to obtain proof of receipt.
Of course, sending an official letter won't necessarily get the issuer to see things your way, but what it will do is serve as proof that you tried to correct the issue. And that brings us to your next move. If the problem isn't resolved by the time you need to file your taxes, you'll have no choice but to explain the discrepancy on your return. Your best bet here is to list the amount of income you know to be correct, but attach a detailed explanation in support of your claim. Furthermore, you should include proof of your attempt to get the issue resolved so that the IRS sees you made an effort."
It's not worth this much effort. I am going to just file it as is, and then hope we all get a corrected one later this year and I can amend it. Annoying but I used my 5 FNC on the JW Marriott Cancun so it was still worth it for me.
