Income from Form 1099-MISC can be considered Other Income instead of Self-Employment Income and be reported on Line 8 of Schedule 1of your 1040. You must answer NO, to the question Involved an intent to earn money  in order for the income to get reported as Other Income and not Self-Employment Income.

 

Go back to Wages & Income and edit the 1099-MISC. Go through the screens again making sure you answer NO it didn't involve an intent to earn money.

 

For additional information, review the TurboTax articles What's the difference between self-employment income and other income? and Where do I enter a 1099-MISC?
