When you walk through to enter your 1099-NEC since this is not income subject to self-employment taxes, after you enter your 1099-NEC you will be asked if any of these uncommon situations apply. You will select, this is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual. It is from a sporadic activity or hobby (this is not common). This will put it on schedule 1 box 8z and not have it subject to SE Taxes or be reported on Schedule C. Be sure to select that box the first time after entering the 1099-NEC or a Schedule C will be generated.
If you already entered the form and it is on Schedule C, go back to the 1099-NEC summary page and delete that form and then re-enter making sure to check the box that it is not income as an employee or self-employed.
