1099 Misc

My wife and I add to our income by working at swim meets as officials.  We are paid with a 1099 MISC and the sum is in box 7.  Turbo Tax is identifying us as a business and taxing us accordingly asking questions about employees, expenses, overhead, etc.  Last year this was not an issue but we made about 1/2 as much.  Could the increase in $'s be the reason?  We are still not a business.  We file jointly.
