Why is turbo tax giving an error for 1099 misc for refereeing with no expenses at the end and it wont let me e-file? It wants to go thru as a business and it is not.

[Tina B]

after entering that there is no expenses from my 1099 misc I still get an error wanting schedule C information.  Why am I getting this still?

If your income is reported in Box 7 of yur 1099-Misc, it is reported on Schedule C.

Box 7 instructions say:

Box 7. Shows nonemployee compensation. If you are in the trade or business of catching fish, box 7 may show cash you received for the sale of fish. If the amount in this box is SE income, report it on Schedule C or F (Form 1040), and complete Schedule SE (Form 1040). You received this form instead of Form W-2 because the payer did not consider you an employee and did not withhold income tax or social security and Medicare tax. If you believe you are an employee and cannot get the payer to correct this form, report this amount on the line for “Wages, salaries, tips, etc.” of Form 1040 (or Form 1040NR). You also must complete Form 8919 and attach it to your return.
