Scheldule C

I cannot get schedule C deleted when trying to input 1099-MISC info for a mutual fund investment.  I have deleted 3 times and input info again, and rebooted twice.  It still comes up with incorrect info submitted first time and asks me to complete Schedule C .  Help!

If a Schedule C continues to populate, it is important that you answer the questions that follow the entry screen for the 1099-MISC. Once answered, this income will flow to Other Income, rather than self-employment income. 

Please follow the instructions below:

1. Open or continue your return, if you're not already in it.
2. Search for 1099-misc and select the Jump-to link.
3. Edit your 1099-MISC.
4. Continue past the amounts already entered.
5. Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC.
6. Answer None of these apply on the screen Does one of these uncommon situations apply?
7. Answer No, it didn't involve work like my main job for the question Did this involve work that's like my main job?
8. Answer You got it in 2020 for the question How often did you get this income?
9. Answer No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money for the question Did this involve an intent to earn money?
10. Answer the remaining on-screen questions.
11. Your 1099-MISC will flow to Other Income.

Next, please make sure to delete any Schedule C or associated self-employment forms in your return.

1. Search for Schedule C with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
2. Select the Jump to Schedule C link in the search results.
3. Select No to the question Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? 
4. Click on Tools.
5. Click on Delete a Form. 
6. Scroll down to your forms and look for forms you need to remove and click Delete.
