I tried the instructions given here. My 1099-MISC is for a Supplemental Retirement Plan that I receive due to my wife's death (the plan covered us both till we died).
It is generating a Schedule C (I know because I'm getting the "fill in these fields" for Schedule C during Smart Check.
How do I get it to not generate the Schedule C. This is looking like about a $7,000 difference in the taxes.
@jwagner504 If you answered all of the questions in the same way as the example provided by @Irene2805 above then you should not have generated a schedule C.
