1099-K Smart Check Error

Using Desktop TurboTax Deluxe Federal+State 2024.

 

I sold 1 personal item at a loss that PayPay reported on 1099-K. I entered it in the 1099-K section and noted that all items were sold at a loss. Smart Check is stopping me indicating Box 1 isn't checked and I need to select Schedule C, D, E, F or Form 4835. None of these apply.

 

I have seen advice stating to file the personal item as an investment under the 1099-B section, indicating my cost basis (original price paid) and proceeds (the sale amount). However, I still don't know what to check when Smart Check stops me and tells me I need to check one of those boxes:

[ ] Schedule C

[ ] Schedule D

[ ] Schedule E

[ ] Schedule F

[ ] Form 4835

[ ] Hobby Income

[ ] Other Income

[ ] Personal Property Rental

 

It indicates in bold that one is required, but checking any of them seems to reduce my refund and indicate that I'm getting taxed on the $1000 I sold a $2200 item for, even with an entry under the 1099-B section indicating that. What do I do here? I don't want to leave it blank and have my return get flagged since one of the boxes is apparently required.
