How do I link my 1099-misc to schedule c? The "review" keeps stopping me at box 7 of the 1099 and asking me to double-click on schedule c

Are you a statutory employee? Is the Box 13 checked?

Are you a statutory employee? Is Box 12 W-2 checked?

I'm a public school teacher.  The 1099 is from a stipend for a summer workshop.  To my knowledge, I don't fall into the statutory employee category.

Thank you, it worked!

What worked? I’m having this exact problem for a 1099 misc payment I got for attending a workshop- I’m in healthcare. No idea how to fix the problem

There is no reason why your 1099-Misc should be connected to a W-2, unless you have a Statutory Employee box checked on your W-2. Delete the W-2, if any. If that doesn't work, delete the Sch C also and redo it.

im having the same issue, my husband got paid to go on a wildfire and it keeps saying i need to double click but there is nothing in the 1099 to show it needs to be linked anywhere. no matter what i do it doesnt pass the review

We want the W-2 and the 1099 Misc to not be connected. Double check that you did not check the Statutory Employee  box 12. If it is not checked, then delete the 1099 Misc. Run review to make sure the diagnostic is gone. R-enter the 1099: 
To get to the 1099-Misc:
While in your return, type “1099-misc” in the Search box and then select the “Jump to” link. This will take you directly to the section where you can enter your 1099-MISC. You will encounter these screens. Please see the screenshots below.
• Did you get a 1099-MISC?  Yes
• Fill in the "Let's get the info from your 1099-MISC" screen
• If necessary, check the box "My form has other info in boxes 1-18 

Great. I'm glad it was helpful.

Having the same issue. I've deleted and re-entered the 1099Misc several times. It's still holding me up here and there is no more info I can add.

Why is this a recommended answer? it didn't even solve the issue

Yes the 'solved answer' above solves the issue. Like it mentioned go to Federal > Delete your 1099-misc. 

Then go to the search tool above and enter 1099-misc again and fill the form. 

Whether I enter 1099-MISC as Other Common Income, or Self-Employment Income section, it is being automatically populated in both places. So it is being taxed twice. I cannot proceed to e-File because it says it is missing a Schedule C. I have Box 7 non-employee compensation of 6,000.00.

I suggest deleting the 1099-Misc and starting from scratch.

1.  Re-enter the 1099-Misc under "Other Common Income". 

2.  If you look at the "Income & Expenses" tab you will probably see that the "Self-employment" now "needs review".  

3.  Click the "review" and you should see the description you used for the 1099-Misc.

4.  "Edit" that item and answer the interview questions. 

That should now tie the two and clear the "needs review" from the self-employment section which in turn clears the "Smart Check" review error.  

Can you tell me what the work around was for this?  It does not let me double click anything?

To correct this issue go back to the Federal Section, Wages and Income and go through the entries for your 1099-Misc form.  In that section you can connect the 1099-Misc to Schedule C.

I was having the same issue.  Delete it and re-do the 1099 Misc.  I had to make sure to select where the money came from.  For me, I get money from General Motors on top of my pay.  I had to select Manufacturers bonus-or something to that effect.

Tried that. Same problem

My 1099-MISC is not from being self employed, it is from an additional job, and is in the "Your Income" section.

I have deleted it and put it in again, and deleted the "self employed" review section, so that it isn't in there twice. Same problem is happening. This loop is maddening.

"In that Section you can connect to the Schedule C"

HOW?

 i deleted the business and entered my NEC's under other common income. Worked fine. For some reason it doesn't like businesses or I messed that part up.

Here's another option. Instead of reporting your 1099-MISC on Schedule C, you can instead report it on Schedule 1. To do that, delete your 1099-MISC, and then report that income under "Less Common Income > Miscellaneous Income > Other reportable income". Then under the description, you can type in something like "Other Income from box 3 of 1099-Misc" and put in the amount. That way it ends up in Schedule 1 under Part 1: Additional Income > Other Income.

I followed these steps and was able to successfully file my Federal return.

I'm stuck at BOX 10 because it says "
