Robinhood 1099MISC Income type

Hello,

 

I am a bit puzzled by the following:

 

I received a 1099MISC from Robinhood, because they granted me a free stock.
That free stock is listed on my Miscellanous detailed form as "Other Income" (transaction type field)

However, a third party told me I could classify it as Fees/commissions.
That classification has a big impact because, as a non resident alien, I am using Sprintax and they do not support the "Other Income" type option of Miscellanous income.

 

What should I do?
