Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, this is not self employment, this is other income. I would call it an honorarium that is entered as other income. 

Please follow the steps below to enter the income:

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click "Federal Wages and Income" from the left side of your screen
3. Scroll  down to "Less Common Income" and click "Show More"
4. Scroll down to "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C" and click "Start"
5. Select "Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099" and click "Start"
6. On the "Did you receive any other wages?" screen answer "Yes" and click "Continue"
7. Continue until you get to the "Any other earned income" screen, answer "Yes" and click "Continue"
8. On the "Enter Source of Other Earned income" screen select "Other" and click "Continue"
9. On the "Any Other Earned Income" screen enter "Honorarium" for the description, enter the amount and click "Done".
