TurboTax is assuming this is a business. Family leave payments are not subject to social security or Medicare tax.

You can delete the Schedule C by taking the steps below and then when you go back to enter your 1099-Misc follow the instructions at the bottom to report the 1099-Misc as other income instead of self-employment income. You need to answer the questions after you enter the 1099-Misc that tell TurboTax that it is not business income.

1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
