What does "a link to schedule c should not be linked when the MWP qualifying as difficulty of care payments exclusion box has been checked" mean?

It depends - why did you get the 1099-MISC?  @FIFICOLE   Was it for self-employment income or something else?   If it was for self-employment, you can enter it as a 1099-NEC.  

Is your income being reported as income in a Schedule C in your Federal 1040 income tax return?  If so, the workaround outlined by @DawnC should allow you to bypass the issue and electronically file your tax return.

Seems to be an error with Turbo Tax as no such box is checked.  Probably either workaround should work but the best is probably to just report it as an NEC form.

TurboTax is working to resolve the issue.   If you would rather wait until it is fixed, you can sign up for notifications through this link.   If the income is from self-employment, it all goes to line 1 of Schedule C (1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, and other/general business income).   

If your income is not from self-employment (most 1099-MISCs are not), it should not be linked to any Schedule C, and therefore, you should not be getting this error.   If your 1099-MISC is not from self-employment and you get this error, you need to delete the 1099-MISC and re-enter it make sure to specify the correct reason you received the form.  Otherwise, it will go to Schedule C and you will pay self-employment tax on income that you should not be paying SE tax on.  

Your income is self-employment, so it should be on line 1 of Schedule C.  @DanTheMan 

No, if the income is not from self-employment do not report it as such.  Also, you are not required to report self-employment income by a specific form.  In both instances, you just need to be reporting your income in FULL on your return.
