1099-MISC Patent Royalty Payment Issue - Turbo Tax reporting as a business?

Turbo Tax is treating my one time patent royalty payment as a rental property and business in Schedule E. I read you just need to enter the property type as a "royalty" and then enter your own address as the property address. However once I finished this form, I keep seeing inputs saying I have a business. How do I make sure turbo tax doesn't think I have a business? This section is so confusing.
