If I filed my return with my 1099-MISC amount being treated as self employment income when it is not, do I have to file an amended return ?

Yes. Be advised that the IRS considers anything in box 7 of 1099-MISC to be self employment income. TurboTax (TT) aggressively steers you in that direction. If you try reporting box 7 income as anything else, you chances of hearing from the IRS are very high. In your case, an amended return, trying to remove SE, will get a close look.

Checked my 1099-MISC. The amount received is in box #3 on that form and not box #7.   Which form do I need to use to do an amended return?
