Go back to the 1099 that you entered into TT. Change your entry from box 6 to box 7 and it should put your grant money onto the Schedule F. Make sure that it ends up as taxable on the Schedule F. It bothered me to "change the entry" on the 1099, but in actuality, you are just making the program work for you and put the info onto the right schedule and in the right box. If I recall, leaving the amount in box 6 puts the income on to the 1040 as "Other Income"....you probably don't want that to happen. Getting it right this year saved us a couple of thousand dollars. Then you can offset your income on the Schedule F by using either box 13 "Custom Hire" (machine work) or box 32 miscellaneous. You should also make sure that you send a 1099-NEC to the person or firm that was paid to cover yourself as that shows proof that you actually paid the money out.
