If this is not Self-Employment, and not wages, enter it as "Other Income" reported on Schedule 1 and carried to your 1040 line 8. 

 

Go to the Wages & Income section 

Scroll down to "Other Common Income" and click Show more

 

Scroll down to "Income from 1099-MISC"

Enter the 1099-MISC

Enter "Award" as description

Select "None of these apply"

Select "No, it didn't involve work"

Select "got it in 2021"

Select "No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money"

Yes, a 1099-MISC is usually taxable income.  

If for a prize or cash reward, it may not require "Self-Employment" tax, but does need to be entered on your return as taxable income.
