Hello, I am paid by an NRSA F32 postdoctoral fellowship and I'm very confused. I've been given a 1099-MISC form with my income in Box 3 ("Other Income"). When I google online, people seem clear that this is not to be treated as self-employment income, and so is not subject to self-employment tax. However, when I try to report this on TurboTax it seems to automatically register this as self-employment income, and I'm charged a pretty exorbitant tax rate. Does anybody know what to do here? If I try not to file it as self-employment then it sets my tax burden to $0, which also obviously can't be right.
