If I have one-time 1099-Misc nonemployee income, Turbo Tax keeps looping back to needing a Schedule C but it does not link me to it. Help?

If you are not Self-Employed and the 1099-Misc is a one-time payment, when you enter your 1099-Misc you can indicate that the income was 'not like my regular job' (screenshot), and 'didn't involve an intent to earn money' (screenshot).

This will make your 1099-Misc 'Other Taxable Income' instead of Self-Employment.

If you do want to report the income as Self-Employment, though, type 'schedule c' in the Search window, and 'Jump to schedule c'.

You will be able to enter info for your Business, including income and expenses.
