Get your taxes done using TurboTax

First of all, delete that 1099-MISC that you first entered, and also delete anything relating to that self-employed business that you started filling out. You should never have gotten a 1099-MISC with the entry in box 7 for the type of benefit you are describing.

 

However, once you've deleted all those entries, go back and re-enter your 1099-MISC. On the screens that follow, say that this was not for work like your regular job. Say it didn't involve an intent to make a profit. Say you got it in 2018 (don't fill in any other year). After you're done, it shouldn't be prompting you about a business anymore.
