I have 1099-G income that agriculture rental payment. Turbo Tax is trying to make it unemployment or PFL. How do I change it?

My 1099-G is for agriculture CRP annual rental payments.  When I try to add it, Turbo Tax wants to delete it because I don't put anything for unemployment or PFL.  Where do I add it?

I have a 1099-G for agriculture payment from the US Dept of Agriculture.  TurboTax updated my version to self-employed in order to accept this 1099G data.  I am not self-employed.  How do I revert back to the premier version as I had all my other W2 income, deductions, and credits already entered.  I do not want to clear and start over.  Thanks.

You will need to update to Self Employed version. A 1099-G for CRP payment must be entered on a schedule F. You may be exempt from Self Employment tax with this 1099-G entered on schedule F. Be sure to review Ag Programs interview in the Farm Income section to determine the taxable portion and whether SE tax applies.

I don't get why there are 3 places to enter 1099-G income, when a 1099-G can be issued for a multitude of reasons. It would make sense to have one place to enter a 1099-G, and you'd think the program could deal with it "correctly" based on user selections and the box the income is reported in. Apparently, the DEVs assume everybody that gets a 1099-G will be unemployed, first and foremost. Bad assumption.
