1099-MISC for health insurance premium refund

I am a MD National Guard soldier, using National Guard health insurance (called "Tricare Reserve Select") and enrolled in a MD-funded National Guard health insurance premium refund program (MD's "Health Care for Heroes" program). For 2024, I received a 1099-MISC with the refund listed in Box 6 Medical and Health Care Payments, which I believe is incorrect - I think Box 6 is for self-employed medical professionals to report their wages, not for the refund of premium I received. When I imported my 1099-MISC along with my other 1099's, TurboTax generated self-employment tax forms Schedule C and Schedule SE, which I've never needed before because I am NOT self-employed nor am I a medical professional.

Is my 1099-MISC correct, and did I enter it into TurboTax incorrectly? Thank you.

Box 6 on the 1099-MISC for health care payments returned to you is correct but the entry method needs to be changed. Delete the 109-MISC and business on your return.

Follow these steps:

Log in to your return.
Go to income
Scroll down to Other Common Income
Select Income from 1099-MISC
Edit/ Start/ Revisit
Enter income -the income should be in box 3,
Enter tax if any withheld in box 4
Continue
Describe the reason -

None of these apply

Thank you, that worked and was far easier than the self-employment forms! Hopefully your answer helps others in my situation, as it is a new refund program in 2024.
