This must be done in a precise way in order not for it to be declared as Self-employment
- Go to federal>wages and income>other common income>1099 Misc income
- Go through the preliminary questions until you get to the question that asks "Did the involve work that's like XXX main job?"
- Make sure you say no to this.
- Then it will ask, how often he gets the money. Answer that.
- then it will ask Did XXX involve an intent to earn money? Here you will say no.
- I would suggest deleting the 1099 MISC that is entered or edit to see if you receive these questions in your return because this is important in determining if this taxable income or not.
