Yes, follow the instructions by DavidD66 and enter this income as if it was properly reported on Form 1099-MISC Box 2 Royalties.
If the payer didn't provide an explanation of why the payment was less than expected, you might contact them for more information. Be sure to keep good records in case you receive a letter from the IRS about the way the income was reported.
