Royalties from oil, gas, minerals, etc. AND from copyrights and patents go on Schedule E.

Royalties from work as a self-employed writer, inventor, artist, etc., go on Schedule C.

Work for hire--reported on a W-2--is treated like all W-2 income.

(Yours aren't, but when there are Schedule E royalties you have to make sure to select "royalties" from the type of property in screen 18.)
