1. I deleted the 1099 Misc and Sch C. Then I hand input the 1099 Misc and answered the questions, it added Sch C again.
2. I decided to start from scratch and started my entire return over by transferring last years info. Then I imported the tax info from my financial institution. Then I went to the 1099 Misc section and answered the questions. Same result, it created a Schedule C.
3. So then I went back to my original return and deleted Schedule C and ran the Review to see what it would do. It said the 1099 Misc had to be associated with Schedule C, Schedule F, Form 4835 or the Other Income Statement. I clicked on the forms button and it brought up the 1099 Misc and told me to check the place where this income should be reported. I checked the Other Income box, reran Review and everything was happy. Out of curiosity I went back to the 1099 Misc section in Easy Step and all the other situations are covered in one of the questions but not the generic other income.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion to delete Schedule C which prompted me to delete it and run the error check.
