If I received nonemployee compensation for an internship, how do I get it so I don't have to fill out all the forms for self-employed?

It is still asking me to fill out a schedule C form with my business name, address, ect.

What if the compensation was reported on 1099-NEC?   Going throug the 1099-NEC entry it seems the only thing that applies is "None of these apply" and it assumes it is a business and Schedule C etc.

In this case it was a summer internship stipend for a student.

To enter a Form 1099-NEC that is not for self-employment:

Open your return and go to Federal >> Wages & Income >> Other Common Income >> Income from Form 1099-NEC. Click Start/Update.

Or enter 1099-nec in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to 1099-nec.

1. On the screen Did you get a 1099-NEC?, click on Yes
2. On the screen Do You Want to Enter Your 1099-NECs Now?, click on Add a 1099-NEC
3. On the screen Let's get the info from your 1099-NEC, enter your information and click Continue
4. On the screen Describe the reason for this 1099-NEC, enter a reason and click Continue
5. On the screen Does one of these uncommon situations apply? Select This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from a sporadic activity or hobby and click Continue.

These entries will report the income on Schedule 1 Line 8z Other Income. The total from Schedule 1 Line 10 flows to Form 1040 Line 8 as ordinary income.
