Bug in 1099-MISC, amount in box 3 considered self-employed income, nothing in box 7

We received a 1099-MISC and W2 from a lawsuit for back pay.  The 1099-MISC only has an amount in box 3 and I indicated that the form is from a lawsuit and enter the amount of back wages.  Turbotax is adding a $117 self-employment tax.  We are not self-employed.
