How do I add gas well royalties in turbo tax. I do not own the land?

I do not own the land just the mineral rights. I entered the 1099 Misc and it wants me to change to Schedule C. This is not my business.

You will report the gas well royalties in the Wages and Income section. (You will need the Premiere or Self-Employed version of TurboTax for rents or royalties)

Scroll down to Rentals, Royalties, and Farm and select Show More
Rental Properties and Royalties (Sch E) and Start or Revisit
Select Royalty and it will walk you through the entry

It may still be giving an error from the original entry. Please check the Delete Forms list and see if there is a duplicate Form 1099-MISC.

To delete a duplicate form, you can use Delete Forms

In the left menu, select Tax Tools
Select Tools
Select Delete a form
Scroll to the Form 1099-MISC that is duplicated and click Delete on the right
Then scroll to the bottom and select Continue with my return
