You have to enter the portion of the payment that represents back wages to clear the error. In your first screenshot, the blank box is where you will enter that amount. For example, if your 1099-NEC box 1 is 15,000 and of that amount $10,000 represents back wages, enter 10,000 in the box that shows. This will stop the system from trying to connect a Schedule C because it will have the complete information.
