When entering a 1099 Misc for a childs 4H project, the system is marking it as unearned income. I think because it is not subject to self employment tax.

For the child's return, I am getting a diagnostic Warning stating Form 8615 is required for children with unearned income.  Where can I mark it as earned?

Putting it on schedule C will work but self employment taxes will soon follow

Agreed. For it to not be unearned income, the kid would have to pay SS & MC tax.  So I think the client either needs to deal with kiddie tax or FICA tax.
