Since the income is reported in box 3, it "could" be considered self-employment income. It depends on why you were paid the money, as to how you report it. So why were you paid the money reported in box 3?

I got that when I open an online account.

How to enter it is below

Problem solved. Thanks.

If the income was not for work or services that you provided, answer No to the questions about it involving work like your main job and involving an intent to earn money.

Reporting 1099-MISC (box 3) that is not self-employment income

Under the Wages & Income tab (or Personal Income tab) scroll down to Other Common Income and elect to start/update Income from form 1099-MISC. Then click YES to indicate you have a 1099-MISC.

Enter the 1099-MISC exactly as printed, and then Continue.

Enter the reason you got this money – be it scholarship, bonus, streaking butt naked across the 50 yard line of the super bowl, whatever. Then continue.

Select None of these apply, then Continue.

Select No, it didn’t involve work….. and Continue.

Select ONLY the tax year for which this specific 1099-MISC was issued. Do not select the year that you received the 1099. Select the year for which the 1099-MISC was issued. Select no other year. Then Continue.

Select No, it didn’t involve an intent to earn money, then Continue.

Select NO, then Continue.

Click the DONE button, and that does it.

Either method works and will get the same result.

The important thing is, no SE tax is assessed on the income.

Entered as described above.  However, once I get to checking my federal return it still finds errors and still wants me to fill out the Schedule C.  Not sure why.  It doesn't seem to save the new info. I changed the "reason" but the old reason is there.  Any other suggestions?

You have to get rid of the other 1099-misc entry you made previously.

Deleting the prior 1099-MISC won't do it. You have to go into the business section and delete the business that's listed there. It's probably named "untitled". But until you delete it, the incomplete SCH C remains. How you do that step by step, depends on what flavor of the program you're using, and if it's the online version or the desktop version.
