Turbotax tends to steer 1099-mic (even box 3) as self employment.. To avoid that result,
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 2015" ONLY
On the next screen select No, it didn't involve intent to earn money
TT will put the amount on line 21 of form 1040 as other income
