Let me clear up some details...

The compensation was from my company as an award payment for patents awarded.  This compensation was reported on a 1099-MISC not on my W2.  So I entered the data in TurboTax for as income from Form 1099-MISC.  When I report the 1099-MISC Turbo Tax asks if the award involved work that is like my main job, I answered "yes".  Now Turbo Tax is treating it as if I have a business which is not the case and is requiring a business name entered for Schedule C.  There is no business name because there is no business.  Turbo Tax will not allow me to complete the return without any errors.   How can I proceed?

Thanks
