Get your taxes done using TurboTax

So, you should have only 1 Schedule C for your realtor expenses.  The other 1099-MISC (with the amount in Box 3) should be listed as other income.   I am going to suggest deleting that 1099-MISC and re-enter it.     Do a search for 1099-misc which will show you a list of all of your 1099s.   You may have it listed 2x, in this case, delete both of them.  

 

When you re-enter Form 1099, answer NO to this being related to your main job and NO, it is not an attempt to earn money.   Also, when you are asked about the frequency of the payments, make sure you enter that the payment was for 2020 ONLY.    If you indicate that you have received it in the past or expect to receive it in the future, TurboTax will prompt you for Schedule C.  

 

The income will show on Line #8, Other Income rather than self-employment.  Check your Form 1040 to verify it is in the correct place.  The review prompt should not occur as long as you deleted your previous entries.
