Investors & landlords

This is great news, but TurboTax Premier Help states it's required for any contractor paid >$600? I have gone through the steps showing that I am an active participant, but not a real estate professional. Do I simply select "No, I did not pay for work that required a 1099", although TurboTax appears to specify that any contractor paid >$600 must be issued a 1099? Wish I could copy and paste the text from TT, or attach a screenshot, here.
