Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The amount listed in box 10 is for compensation paid to an attorney. If you are an attorney then that income would be considered self-employment income. Since you are not an attorney, it is likely the amount was put in the wrong box.
A work-around solution would be to report the form as stated. Then, add an expense for "misclassified fees" or something similar, to cancel out the income. Then, report the income as "Other Income". Your other option is to simply report it as "Other Income" and when the IRS inquires about it explain to them what happened and that would likely resolve the issue.
To report other income in TurboTax:
1. Go to the Wages and Income section of TurboTax
2. Choose Less Common Income then Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A and 1099-C
3. Choose Other Reportable Income and follow the instructions
