You should be concerned about how to properly report it, not how to avoid filing certain Schedules.

If it is a business, it belongs on Schedule C.  If it is not a business and just miscellaneous income, it belongs as "other income" (whatever the Line is now, it used to be Line 21).

If it something else (rent or whatever else), it may need to go elsewhere.

If the 1099-MISC reports the income in Box 7 AND if it NOT actually a business, you may consider reporting it on Schedule C, then "back it out" with an equal deduction (to net zero income/loss)".  Then report it where it belongs.  That will avoid an IRS notice.
