Is there a place to enter a few, small 1099-misc's without filling out a schedule C and all the business deductions? It was only a few small side jobs.

Is there a place to enter a few, small 1099-misc's without filling out a schedule C and all the business deductions? It was only a few small side jobs.
Because the IRS will receive your 1099-Misc as 1099, it is best not to list them under "miscellaneous income."
TurboTax is prompting you to do a Schedule C to allow you to deduct expenses because income from a 1099-Misc can be subject to self-employment tax even if you are doing side jobs.
There are some major differences between "other income" and business income.
Self-employment income
- Money you earn as a contractor, consultant, freelancer, or other independent worker.
- It's reported on 1099-MISC (Box 7), 1099-K (Box 1a), or as cash, check or credit card sales transactions.
- Requires you to complete Schedule C.
- You can deduct expense related to the income.
- Requires you to pay self-employment tax.
Other income
- It's money you received from something like a prize, award, lawsuit settlement, etc.
- It's most often on a 1099-MISC (Box 3).
- You report it on Line 21 of Form 1040.
