Natural gas lease royalties on a 1099-MISC

[pjburke2]

Trying to enter 1099-MISC amounts that I received as royalties from a natural gas well lease. Turbotax is trying to make me fill out Schedule C which is for a business. I am not a self-employed business and I'm renting property. How do I correctly enter this income as well as deduct the operating costs indicated on the 1099-MISC form which are not in one of the numbered boxes?

When you enter income from non-business royalty, TurboTax will automatically generate Schedule E. Once you've selected the proper classification, follow the onscreen instructions. You'll be prompted to set up your royalty property in the Rents and Royalties section or the Business Income and Expenses section, depending on which classification it falls into.
