To enter a 1099-MISC for royalties in your return, you should:

1. Login to your TurboTax account
2. Search for 1099-MISC 
3. Select the Jump to link in the search results.
4. Enter the information from your 1099-MISC
5. When you enter Box 2 - Royalties the program will ask for the source of your royalty income:

• Investment income from property you own – This includes natural resources extracted from your property by a third party who leases your property, as well as royalties from intellectual property that you didn't create yourself. This gets reported on Schedule E.
• Royalty income from your business, including artist royalties or operating a natural resources business (Schedule C) – This includes income from natural resources that you extract from your property as well as royalty payments from the intellectual property you created as an inventor, writer, artist, and so forth. This gets reported on Schedule C.

After selecting the source of your royalties the program will ask for more information depending on your situation.
