I would like to deposit a single sum retirement benefit into a DBA (Doing Business As) bank account. Is there any tax difference from depositing this check into my personal account? It will be on the Schedule C and then all personal & DBA income will be taxed on the 1040 as ordinary income. Am I missing anything? (I was born after 1936 and the amount is less then $10K.)

Where is it coming from?  If it is from a retirement plan you will get a 1099R for it and you can put it anywhere you want.  A 1099R will probably be 100% taxable.  It doesn't matter what you do with it.    How will it be on your schedule C?  As income or an expense?  The deposit won't go on schedule C but you can expense anything you buy with it for your business.
