Form 8919

When running SmartCheck, errors were found related to form 8919. Last year (2021) I earned enough as a contract employee to receive a 1099. This year (2022) I did not earn enough for that. TurboTax "helpfully" transfers information from the previous year: "If you're a returning TurboTax customer, we'll check if last year's 1099-MISC had an amount in box 7. If it did, we'll automatically change your form to a 1099-NEC for this years taxes." So, even though I did not receive (or need) a 1099-NEC this year, TT is wanting information related to it. How do I get it to not seek this information? Or should I simply ignore the errors related to form 8919?
