Unlike the 1040 there is no "built-in" nominee button to hit.  After all lines of the Schedule B you add another line called "Nominee Distribution" and put a negative number on the line.  Some people will put the SSN or EIN or the tax return where the nominee income should be reported on.

Pro Series is not letting me put a negative number on Schedule B.  Now what?

The post you are referring back to was for a 1041.  You can put a negative number there.  for a 1040 double-click on the interest line to get to the Additional Information worksheet.  There under E: Adjustment Information  you can select the type of adjustment and the amount of adjustment. Nominee is choice "N".
