Received a 1099 MISC for speaking at a conference. I have no side business related to this, but Turbo Tax will not let me move forward without completing a Schedule C.

If this is a one-time event, you may report your speaker's stipend as "Other Income" on your return.

To enter the stipend on your return, follow the instructions below:

Choose the Federal return and the Wages & Income tab.
Scroll down to Less Common Income and Show more.
Choose Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
Choose Other Reportable Income and say Yes.
Even though the screen says "Do not enter income reported on Form 1099-MISC", this is where you will enter the description "1099-MISC for Speaker's Stipend," the amount you received, and who received it, if necessary.
