Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Cpa I use for a trust account advised me in order to avoid an IRS letter, I should report the 1099 and then on the schedule C expenses use the 1099 amount and say something like "pass through investment income".  Thus the 1099 will wash out but will it still look for self-employment tax? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this option in Turbo Tax.  Reporting it as you said on Schedule D as investment income I can do.  Suggestions?
