If you aren't self-employed or own a business, then a Schedule C is not required.

If TurboTax asks you for a Schedule C, this means that a Schedule C was inadvertently started or was carried over from previous years.

Delete this Schedule C.

In TurboTax, open your return
In the left-hand column, locate Tax Tools, click on the drop-down arrow then click on Tools
On the Tools Center page, click on Delete a form
A list of forms will appear. Locate the Schedule C (name of entity) and click Delete next to it.
On the next screen, click Delete Form
Also delete any worksheets associated with it.

But be aware that if you received a 1099-NEC then the IRS is likely to look for a Schedule C on your tax return.
