Self employed

A 1099-MISC usually indicates a 'cash in lieu' payment.  

 

Make sure when you enter the form into TurboTax you tell the system that this was not a regular activity like your job and that this was not an attempt to earn money.  If you do that then the payment will not be entered as self-employment income and will not generate a schedule C.  It will instead be entered as miscellaneous income on the 1040.
