I received a 1099-misc for my author royalties. How do I input that?

It only asks for box 3 and on. The "what if I have income in other boxes" answer didn't help at all.

Royalties received as a result of creative work such as writing, music and art, is considered self-employment income and is reported on Schedule C. The royalties received that result from your creative work is considered self-employment income.Anyone who earns full- or part-time income from a source other than an employer is a self-employed business owner.

All expenses that apply to your business can be placed on Schedule C (or the simplified C-EZ this year) of your federal income tax return.

You will want to  complete  Schedule  C for  your  business this year since it will be more beneficial in the reporting as a business in future years.
