In addition to the instructions provided above by pattif12, be sure to indicate that you only received the payment in 2020 (even if it was received in other years and you expect to receive it again). Also, indicate that the payment did not involve an intent to earn money.
This should place the income on Line 8 of Schedule 1 without requiring a Schedule C.
