Get your taxes done using TurboTax

On the third screen of the input for the 1099-NEC there is a box that says "This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from a sporadic activity or hobby (this is not common)."  Tick that box.

 

That will tell the system that your income is taxable (because it is) but that you didn't do it as part of a job so it is not subject to self-employment tax.
