How do I enter a 1099 miscellaneous income form? It keeps asking about my business and it’s not!

[Coleen3]

If you have income reported in Box 7 of Form 1099-misc, the IRS considers this to be self-employment income and it is reported on Schedule C.

Box 7. Shows nonemployee compensation. If you are in the trade or business of catching fish, box 7 may show cash you received for the sale of fish. If the amount in this box is SE income, report it on Schedule C or F (Form 1040), and complete Schedule SE (Form 1040). You received this form instead of Form W-2 because the payer did not consider you an employee and did not withhold income tax or social security and Medicare tax.
