I received a 1099-MISC from Coinbase. I input the information into the 1099-MISC section in TurboTax but it moves it to Schedule C. How do I prevent this?

This is not self-employment or a sole proprietorship.  It likely was rewards from cryptocurrency.

Form 1099-MISC is issued to indicate total miscellaneous income. It's used by some cryptocurrency platforms to indicate other income of more than $600, from cryptocurrency staking, rewards and other sources of income.

1. Open or continue your return.
