1099-MISC for investment

Hi,

 

I received a 1099-MISC from a Trust that was created after the SEC shutdown an investment company I bought products from.  The 1099 is for earnings from the company's remaining investor investments that were all put in a pool to payout the investors.  

 

The 1099 payment was not return of the invested capital which is forecast to be paid out in the future.

 

When I enter the 1099-MISC in TurboTax, TurboTax wants to treat it an business income.  How do i change this to investment income. 

 

The investment was over 10+ years ago so hopefully any capital gains will be long term.

 

Appreciate any thoughts/help.

 

Thanks!
