I hope you got this figured out I know this is from last year, but I just figured out how to do it correctly on this years taxes. Realizing it did it wrong last year because of filing under 1099 NEC and having to create a non existent business of Schedule C- so didn't get as much back as I should have. UGH. But file the FIRST RESPONDER RECOGNITION PAYMENT as 1099 MISC enter the amount in Box 3 and thats it. You should get more $$ back and then you don't have to create a Schedule C.
