My son was president of the student body. He got paid $ and got a 1098-MISC. When I enter it in other income, it copies it to business income, which doesn't sound right.

All that was filled in on the 1098-MISC box 7, non-employee compensation. On the following screens I tried "money from scholarship/fellowship", "none of these apply", and "commision not from my employeer".

He has a part time job at a department store, thats his main job.

Last year, while this was income, it wasn't business income. It looks like its trying to make this a business/self-employed situation.
