Correct, that would not be Self-Employment.
To enter the 1099-MISC and not have the program instruct you to file Schedule C, you will need to trick the software by saying
No, not like work
No, not with an intent to earn money
Only received in 2023
You may get this each and every year, but you'll need to say only 2023.
This is NOT an IRS question and your response is NOT reported on your return.
It is a way for the program to determine if the 1099-MISC is Self-Employment, but in your situation, it does not relate.
