Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Based on your description of why you got this money (essentially additional wages), LinaJ2020"s reply is the correct way to handle the 1099-Misc.   It will have you pay the employee's share of FICA. You can avoid form SS-8 by selecting reason code H. 

 

But your question was: how can I put it as simple income and be done with it

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 2020" ONLY

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

TT will put the amount on line 8  of Schedule 1 as other income
