I received a 1099-NEC after a drilling company paid a lease bonus to drill. Now turbo tax wants me to claim I am self-employed. This is not a business.

The drilling company should have issued a 1099-MISC to report the lease bonus. You can contact them and ask if they can send a corrected form.

You can enter the 1099-NEC so that it won't be considered self-employment.

In your TurboTax account, go to:

1. Wages & Income
2. Other Common Income
3. Select Income from a 1099-NEC
4. Enter the payer's name
5. EIN Number
6. Amount you received
7. Describe the reason for this 1099-NEC = State what it was for
8. Does one of these uncommon situations apply?
9. Click This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, 

Continue with the interview and answer the additional questions. If you add any expenses to be deducted, then the income will be considered self-employment.
