These payments were made to me by the electric company (Massachusetts Electric Company, DBA National Grid) as incentives for generating renewable energy via a photovoltaic installation on my home. I received a 1099-MISC for the total of those payments. I attempted to enter this simply as a 1099-MISC under "other income", but TurboTax seems to be insisting that I fill out all of the details of a Schedule C as if I had a business or was self-employed. Neither of those are true. Certain fields such as "Principal Business Code" are not something that I can enter, so I'm not sure how or why I am being expected to complete a Schedule C nor how to work around this.
