Go back to the beginning of this thread. The steps to report the 1099-NEC without it being self-employment, are outlined. It’s an1099-NEC. I personally would not report it as something else. I followed the steps and was able to accurately report it.
edited - it was a different thread. I cut and pasted it for you below.
To report this so it doesn't appear as a business, please do the following.
- Sign in to your TurboTax account.
- Click on Federal Taxes tab.
- Choose Wages and Income.
- Scroll down to Other Common Income
- Select 1099 -NEC
- Enter the 1099 NEC information'
- Then it asks for the description of the income. Give it the proper description.
- When you reach a page that says Does one of these uncommon situations apply?
- Select This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from a sporadic activity or hobby (this is not common).
- This will then be taxed as common income and not business income.
