@KatrinaB48 's guidance only applies if the income is reported in box 3 of the 1099-MISC. I see no reason why it would be reported in any other box. But this needs to be clarified, "just in case".

Take special note that box 7 of the 1099-MISC is no longer valid for a 2019 form 1099-MISC. So if you have income entered in box 7, it's wrong. Just treat it and enter it "as if" it were entered in box 3, and you'll be fine.
