I have a 1099-MISC for disability payments received on maternity leave. TT is now requiring business information to be filled out when these payments were NOT for a business.

I suggest you delete the 1099-MISC you have entered, and anything that was created in the self-employment section and start fresh.

Here is how to report the 1099-MISC in TurboTax Online:

Navigate to Federal > Wages & Income > Other Common Income> Form 1099-MISC > Start or Revisit
Enter the 1099-MISC as printed, Continue
Describe the reason for this 1099-MISC: "Disability" or similar
Select None of these uncommon situations apply, then continue
Select No, it didn’t involve work that's like your main job and continue
The next screen asks how often you get income from Disability. Select only the year of this specific 1099-MISC, 2024.

That did the trick. I had disability payments for maternity leave for both 2022 and 2024. Once I made the recommended change, I was able to proceed with different questions that made sense and delete the business section. Then the federal check had no errors! Thank-you!
