If your 1099-MISC was received as something other than self-employment income you need to enter the form identifying the reason.  You can either go back and review all the questions for your 1099-MISC entry or delete the form and start the 1099-MISC entry over.  You should never report a 1099-MISC as a 1099-NEC.  If you received the 1099-MISC as business income, you are not required to enter the 1099-MISC specifically and can merely enter it as Other Self-employed Income in the Income section of your Schedule C.
