Well the back of the 1099 NEC we received clearly states: "If you are not an employee but the amount in Box 1 is not self employment income, report the amount shown in Box 1 on the other income line (on Schedule 1 (Form1040))."
We are not direct employee's of the State nor are we self employed and the income is supposed to be a gift/bonus. So the only way to get it to other income line is by adding it as 1099MISC.
