When the amount on your 1099-Misc is shown in Box 7 (NonEmployee Compensation), TurboTax wants to categorize it as Self-Employment Income.

 

Pay close attention to the follow-up questions after you enter your 1099-Misc.  Choose 'None' from the list of 1099-Misc income types. 

 

Choose '...Not Main Job' and choose 'No intent to earn money..' (screenshots). 

 

This will report the income as Other Income.
