Self employed

When you entered it the first time it generated a schedule C for the self employment.  Most people receiving 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC are receiving self-employment income so the system defaults to this.

 

First, go back to your 1099-MISC that you have entered and delete it.  The little trashcan to the right will delete the information that you have entered.

 

Second, we need to delete the schedule C that the system has created.  Click on 'Tools' in the bottom left corner of the screen and then click on 'Tax Tools'.  Then click on 'Delete a Form'.  You'll see all of the forms that are included in your return.  Delete the schedule C from that list and any schedule C worksheets.  Don't delete any other forms - tax forms are interconnected and deleting the wrong one can mess up your whole return.

 

Third, you're going to re-enter that 1099-MISC using the instructions that @MarilynG1 gave you above.  

 

That should fix all the issues and leave you with 'Other Income' that is already covered by the taxes withheld on your 1099.
