1099-MISC for NY PFL in 2023 Desktop

[gaelrond]

I received a 1099-MISC for NYS Paid Family Leave for 2023.  No matter what I do, when I enter it into the Desktop version, it triggers a Schedule C which I cannot fill out (nevermind that it is not needed).  Is there a workaround for this or somewhere else I should be entering this information?  I cannot finish and file without resolving this.  Thanks.

When you enter the 1099-MISC, you have to mark that it was not an intent to earn money and that it was only for 2023. Otherwise, you get Sch C. These are just program questions, not part of the return. It doesn't matter if you get PFL every year forever, just mark 2023 only.

Thank you for your response.  I updated my entries, and once I remembered to delete the Schedule C that the software had populated the return passed the smart check.  Thanks!
