My husband inherited mineral rights when his parents passed away. The company sent a Substitute Form 1099-Misc to us. I tried entering the information but we don't own the property, just the mineral rights. Should I use form 1099-Inv.?

The mineral rights are for CO2 gas.

No, you will not use a Form 1099-DIV to report income from mineral rights.  Mineral rights are considered to be royalty payments and are reported on Schedule E.
