How can I avoid doing sch. C if I received a W-2 and 1099-MISC which is for fringe rate supplemental pay when I am off due to weather?

I am using turbotax2018 home and business. I am filing for my son who has one job he gets a w-2 and also a 1099-misc with income in box 3. It also has federal tax taken off already.

Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Follow these steps to enter as "other income" and avoid Schedule C:

Enter the 1099-Misc

On the next screen Describe what the payment was for

On the next screen select "none of these apply"

On the next screen select "No it didn't involve work like my main job"

On the next screen select "I got it in 2018 ONLY

On the next screen select No, it didn't involve intent to earn money

TurboTax will put the amount on line 21 of Schedule 1 as other income
