I received a1099 NEC because of a bonus as a First Responder from the State. It is not my employer, so how do I enter the 1099 NEC as a bonus and not self employment?

The 1099 NEC is from the State and not my employer.  As i tried to enter the info in, the software made me create a business as a self employed individual, which is not correct.  It was simply a bonus from the state, not my employer.
