Per IRS, the AmeriCorps Education award should be reported on line 21, as Other Income and not as self-employment income.
When going through the 1099-Misc income, be sure to:
* select None of these apply on the "Does any of these uncommon situations apply" screen
* select No, it didn't involve work like my main job
* select No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money - such data entries will trigger the amount to be placed as Other Income on line 21, Form 1040, not subject to SE tax.
