My child received a 1099-misc for Univeristy Research work - Earned not unearned

My child got a w2 from her university for EMT work, they also received a 1099-misc for research work.

When I am doing their return, I marked the 1099-Misc (box 3 income) as Other Income (it is not schedule C).  But it marks it as unearned include, limits the standard deduction based on the W2 and the combined income and then brings up an 8615.   TT is reporting it on line 1z of Schedule 1 rather than 1h of 1040.

How do I get this to show as earned income that avoids the 8615 and limitation on the standard deduction.?
