No, this is not self-employment. Delete what you have entered so far and enter it using the steps below.
Income from a health study is 'Other Income' and is not subject to self-employment. I assume your amount in box 3 of your 1099-Misc.
Take the following steps:
- Sign in to TurboTax Online, click Continue your return, then pick up where I left off (if you are using TurboTax CD/ Download, then just open your return on your computer);
- Click on Federal Taxes at the top of the screen;
- Scroll down the page to the last section titled: 1099-Misc and Other Common Income;
- Select start or update next to the topic titled Income from Form 1099-Misc;
- Answer Yes, to the questions Did you get a 1099-Misc?;
- Enter the information from your 1099-Misc;
- Enter Medical Study for a reason for the 1099-Misc;
- For uncommon situations, select [Name] was in a research study and this was the payment;
- You will then be asked if you perform a service to earn the money, say No.
