1099MISC reporting

After sucessful IVF treatment my wife sold her extra eggs for $6,500 and received a 1099MISC with the $6,500 reported on line 3 (other income) from the clinic.  TurboTax seem to be forcing me to fill out schedual C which doesn't really fit (and nothing else seems to fit either.  Help!
