When I try to put in a 1099-MISC for my wife's STD after having our first child, it treats it as if she was a self employed worker. Is there another way to report this?

It asks very bizarre questions like what "industry" the work falls under and wants to charge "self-employment tax in addition to income tax" and it just feels like I'm doing something wrong since this wasn't a "job" but short term disability while she recovered and spent time with our newborn.
