1099-MISC and Schedule C

My husband and I are filing jointly.  He received a 1099-MISC for the value of a reward he received through his employer (it was goods that were received, i.e., patio furniture, tools).  I entered the information and noted that it was prize winnings.  When doing the "smart check", I am asked to review a Schedule C form.  The proprietor has my name and SS# listed - which I don't understand.  Also, it is asking for a Principal Business Code - which I have no idea what to enter.  We do not have our own business and my husband is not self-employed.   Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re-enter the 1099-MISC, but make sure to check the box that says - This was prize winnings.
