I'm reporting 1099-MISC income and TurboTax won't let me change the name of the business from my name to the actual name of the business

It does not matter whether your name or your business name is on the 1099-Misc.  If you have a business, just add the 1099-Misc exactly the way it's written on the 1099-Misc form, into your business's income section on Schedule C.  All the IRS cares about is that the total amount of all of your 1099-Misc forms add up to the total amount of 1099-Misc forms that they received for you and your business.
