Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you received a 1099-Misc with an Amount in Box 7, this is considered Self-Employment Income, which is reported on Schedule C.

However, if this is a one-time payment and you are not Self-Employed, when you enter your 1099-Misc, choose 'not like my main job' (screenshot) and 'no intent to make money' (screenshot).

This will make the 1099-Misc amount taxable as 'Other Income' instead of 'Self-Employment Income'.

Type '1099misc' in the Search window, then 'Jump to 1099misc' to EDIT your Entry on the 1099-Misc Summary Page (screenshot).
