Who paid you and why? That is, what did you do for the money? Under some circumstances, you could well have self employment income. Student research stipends are usually taxed as scholarships. But, scholarships should not be reported on a 1099-NEC (or 1099-Misc). Student-employees of a college are not usually subject to social security and Medicare tax. You will probably have to use a workaround in TurboTax (TT).
The IRS considers anything on a 1099-NEC to be self employment income. If you try reporting it as anything else, you chances of hearing from the IRS are high.
