I have the same 1099-MISC issue that I got from a brokerage firm. Even when I follow the instructions, also shared in this forum, it keeps wanting to fill Schedule C.

I have selected only 2024, and no intent to earn money. Still keeps wanting to create a schedule C with all the extra information that is not applicable when I do the review.

Delete the 1099 (you may have multiple forms started, so delete all related 1099s) and delete the Schedule C.   Then re-enter the 1099 making sure you answer the 3 follow-up questions** correctly.   The error messages are probably stemming from a Schedule C that was already started.

You are absolutely right. I had called TurboTax before, but that wasn't helpful. So I called again in the meantime and the very helpful lady showed me how to delete forms, and that resolved it! It was indeed for a previous one (where I had selected more than 2024). 

Thank you very much!
