If you had self-employment income from a 1099-MISC in the prior year, it would have been carried over to this year's return as a 1099-NEC. For 2020, nonemployee compensation on the prior year Form 1099-MISC is now reported on Form 1099-NEC. You can delete this from your return. If you did not have a 1099-MISC in the previous year, then please also delete the Schedule C from your return. 

1. Open your return in TurboTax.
2. Search for Schedule C with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
3. Select the Jump to Schedule C link in the search results.
4. If you get to a self-employment summary screen, delete the self-employment income line with the trash can icon.
5. If you get to the question Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? answer No. 
6. Search for 1099-NEC with the magnifying glass tool at the top of the page.
