    Delete the Form 1099-MISC that you have entered, then follow these instructions: How do I enter a 1099-MISC for royalty income?

     

    Be careful to enter the income in Box 2 and mark the property as "Royalty" (the default is rental). If you're asked about an address, enter the actual property address if you know it or your own mailing address. This entry isn't required by the IRS, but TurboTax asks for it.
