My W-2 job contracted with a scholarship org to award money to employees towards student debt reduction. This org sent me a 1099-MISC. Last year TT counted this as separate income, but this year it states that it is including it on my schedule C (I also am partially self-employed). Will this affect my self-employment tax burden? Is there any way to change it back to being a separate line item under Income? Is either way less for my tax burden?
