Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If the income is reported in box 2 on the Form 1099-MISC, it will be treated as either Royalty investment income or royalty business income. With either treatment, it is going to appear on a schedule E or schedule C, both of which allow you to enter expenses associated with it, so in that sense the income will be associated with a business. If you want it to be reported as "Other" income, you would have to enter the amount as a box 3 entry. From what you described, you provided services to earn the money, so it would likely be treated as a business by the IRS.
You enter the Form 1099-MISC in the Wages and Income section of TurboTax, then Other Common Income, then Income from Form 1099-MISC.
