HOW DO I ADD MY 1099-MISC FOR OREGON PAID LEAVE WITHOUT IT TRYING TO PUT IT AS OTHER WORK?

turbo tax is trying to add as self employment schedule C

In order to correct this, I suggest you delete the 1099-MISC you have entered, and anything that was created in the self-employment section and start fresh. Here is how to report the 1099-MISC from Oregon for paid leave:

• Navigate to Federal > Wages & Income > Other Common Income> Form 1099-MISC> Start or Revisit
• Enter the 1099-MISC as printed, Continue
• Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC: "Oregon Paid Leave" or similar.
• Select None of these uncommon situations apply, then continue
• Select No, it didn’t involve work that's like your main job and continue
• The next screen asks how often you get income from Oregon Paid Leave.  Select only the year of this specific 1099-MISC, 2025.
• Next, select No, it didn't involve the intent to earn money
• Verify that the amount is now populated on Schedule 1, Line 8z "Other Income."

I paid both Federal and State tax on this already and it's still trying to reduce my return amount even though I submitted it the way your suggested.

Do you still have a Schedule C in your return, @EEboy?   Did you delete the first 1099-misc and the Schedule C?  

Delete that 1099-Misc and the Schedule C that was started, instructions are below.  Then re-enter it, making sure to answer the follow-up questions as follows:

1. After you enter the reason for the 1099-Misc, mark None of the above on the next screen (uncommon situations).
2. Answer Did the refund involve work that's like your main job?  NO
3. Answer How often did you get income for refund?  You got it in 2025
4. Answer Did the refund involve an intent to earn money?  NO

This will report the income as Other Income on Line 8 of Form 1040 without generating a schedule C.    You can enter your federal and state withholding amounts by clicking on the box that says, My form has other info in boxes 1-18 checked.
