If you have any income that was reported to you on a 1099 MISC with an amount in box 7, then this income will be reported on Schedule C.  Therefore, in the eyes of the IRS, this is self-employed income and self-employment taxes are due on it.  See more information below:

If you did not have a 1099-MISC income, but have a Schedule C was added because you had Schedule C income last year, see the steps below to delete the form from being attached to your return:

When I try to file my taxes it tells me to review this entry: "Complete if box 13 Statutory employee box is checked. 3 Will you be deducting any expenses in connection with this income?Yes No
4 If so, select the copy of Schedule C you want to report this income on (double-click)"

I dont have any schedule C

If you are a statutory employee (a box checked on your W-2), you can claim business expenses on Schedule C which is a benefit for the very, very few people who qualify as statutory employees.  Therefore, if you do not have any expenses that you want to deduct on Schedule C, then select NO on that review question and the error should be corrected.

I already tried that many times but keeps asking me to link my W2 to a copy of Schedule C

Go back to the W-2 entry section by typing W-2 in the search field and selecting the Jump To link.  Then select to edit the W-2.  Double check that the statutory box 13 is supposed to be checked from your original W-2.  If so, leave it checked and continue through the screens.  You should eventually be brought to a screen asking if you have any business expenses.  Select YES and then it will ask which job should be linked to schedule C.  If the box 13 statutory employee was marked in error, then uncheck it.
