I can understand your frustration. Just to make sure: are you self-employed? It sounds like you have created Employment expenses, which are not as a business, but as an employee. That's when you see TurboTax asking which profession to use to claim deductions. Are you receiving the residuals on a W-2? That would be as an employee, but you probably wouldn't have had expenses in 2017 related to that income.
Otherwise, you create one business as an artist/performer/etc, and report all your income and expenses under that one umbrella, if they are all interrelated.
But if they aren't related, and you don't have W-2 income from these activities, you might actually have more than one Schedule C.
At this point, I WOULD recommend that you "Clear and Start Over" because I might not be able to direct you on how to untangle the professions/deductions.
