OKAY, THANK YOU!
First, whether a Schedule C is produced or if the miscellaneous income flows to the 'other income' line as it should, depends on the answers to the questions in the 1099-MISC section. As soon as you change the answers, a Schedule C will be produced or it will be deleted (you don't need to affirmatively delete the Schedule C..) I thought I had tried every variable. What works (does not produce a Schedule C) is if you either:
- choose something other than 'Other'for the uncommon reasons (which was my first working option), or
- do what you suggested and only pick ONE year, the current year 2022, veresus putting a checkmark in the prior year or next year (I actually had this income in the prior year, but I give up trying to be truthful)
