Please see this answer from HalAl:
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 2016" ONLY (lying to TT to get it to do what you want does not constitute lying to the IRS)
- On the next screen select No, it didn't involve intent to earn money
TT will put the amount on the1040 as other income
*The IRS considers cash income, with or without a 1099-MISC, for work performed, to be self employment income
