I received a 1099-misc for crypto stablecoin interest yield, which should just be passive "other" income, but TT categorizes it as self-employment income. How to change?

It does not give any option to count it as other income, it just asks which of my other schedule C should it be included in or to create a new one. There is no reason I should have to pay SE tax on this passive income
