Check to see if the 1099-MISC was entered as a 1099-MISC.
If that 1099-MISC is associated with a Schedule C (self-employment income for a trader business you operate) you could double-click that box and you should be able to select your Schedule C.
If on the other hand it is a promotional payment associated with personal investing, that 1099-MISC is not self-employment income, and when you enter the 1099-MISC you should designate it a "Robinhood incentive", and on the next screen designate it as either "prize winnings" or "manufacturer's incentive" depending on which you consider it to be.
You go to the Wages and Income>>Income from Form 1099-MISC section to check the entry of your 1099-MISC.
If you also sold that stock during the year, you have a "basis" in the promotional stock equal to the amount you reported from the 1099-MISC as income when you received the stock (which is equal to the fair market value when you receive the stock). So, when you sell the stock, the difference between what you received (proceeds) and that cost basis is a gain or loss.
