This is taxable as Other Income, but it is NOT subject to employment taxes.  To enter it on your return, follow the instructions below:

  • Sign into your return and Take me to my return.
  • Choose the Federal return and the Wages & Income tab.
  • Scroll down to Less Common Income and Show more.
  • Choose Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
  • Choose Other Reportable Income and say Yes.
  • Even though the screen says "Do not enter income reported on Form 1099-MISC", this is where you will enter the description "1099-MISC for Research Study," the amount you received, and who received it.

I looked up the "Research C 6-digit code" and it appears to be a code for the study in which you were participating.  It does not need to be reported to the IRS.  

Thank you for your participation in medical research.
