Oil, gas, and timber are natural resource royalties. Both Rental and Royalty Income go on Schedule E, so your 1099-MISC should be entered by going to Federal (left menu), Wages and Income (top menu), Rentals, Royalties and Farms, then ''Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E)'', instead of the 'Other Common Income' section. If you enter it in the Other Common Income section, you will be prompted to link the 1099-MISC to a schedule E property. So you will need to complete that section at some point before you can file your return.
If you go through the Rental and Royalty Income section first, you can set up the property information to reflect it as a gas and oil producing property before you enter the income..
