Either way is OK.

 

1. Original answer:  "Enter the amount in the Less Common Income section, Miscellaneous Income  and then click Other Reportable Income. Type '14 day rent rule' as a description and enter the amount."  I would type "Box 1 of 1099-Misc" , instead.  The deduction will use the 14 day rule description.

OR

2. Enter at the 1099-Misc screen. When asked why you got this, select "non business income from the rental of personal property or equipment".  That will get TT to identify it as box 1 1099-misc income on line 8 of Schedule 1.
