Americorps Segal Education Award on 2022 Tax Return

Hello,

When filing my taxes for 2021, I needed to report an educational grant, the Segal Education Award given by Americorps, used = solely for education-related expenses.  However Americorps recognizes this award with a 1099-MISC form, and I could not find a way to report it on TurboTax that would not subject the award to self-employment taxes.  As a result, I reported it instead in Section 8z of Form 1040.  I was wondering if there is a definitive way to report this award without running into this problem.

I also have not yet received my tax returns for 2021, and I was wondering if that was normal and/or if there is a way to check if they were received when I sent them back in April.

Thank you!
