Fidelity does a similar 1099-MISC for income from the lending of stocks. Not sure why this would not be interest but that is the way Fidelity sends it out.
The Turbotax software has one gottcha that will screw up the questions asked and put in form hell?
If the information is pulled in automatically turbo tax will generate a self employment form you can not deleted or save your return.
You have to delete this original form and start over manually.
Under wages> other income > Form 1099-MISC, enter the information manually, and carefully step through the process. You will eventfully come to a question: "Did you intend to earn income from this?" Make sure to answer no. Make sure to answer no, on the question if you intend to have this income in the following or previous year.
Although you really did intend to earn income, you are not self employed. Checking yes on anything related will keep you from being to finish your return. You must delete all the 1099-MISC information and start over.
