We receive 1099-Misc. forms for the retiree benefits our university provides--insurance, meal discounts, etc. TurboTax has always entered these as Misc. Income, but now is calling it a personal business, requiring Sched. C.
Enter it as "Other Income" and not self-employment
Delete the 1099-MISC you entered and re-enter it this way:
