If you receive a form 1099-MISC for a legal services benefit, then you are not considered as
self-employed and do not need to file a Schedule C.
In TurboTax, enter your form 1099-MISC and follow the interview
and answer that this did not involve an intent to earn money. The amount will
be reported as Miscellaneous income and will not be subject to Self-employment
tax.
