TurboTax asking about business name, principle Business code??? The 1099 INT is from cashing in savings bonds.

Received a 1099 INT from bank where I cashed in savings bonds.  Interest was listed in box #3.  Turbotax is asking me fill out a Schedule C as if I am a business.  Not the case.

Is it a 1099Misc instead of a 1099INT?

It is being input in wrong area, delete whatever was entered on it so far.

Then input savings bonds interest as follows:

Federal Taxes

Wages and Income

to Interest and Dividends

to Interest on a 1099INT

and you will box 3 on where to enter the Savings Bond interest.
