Robinhood 1099-MISC

I received a consolidated 1099 form from Robinhood. There is a 1099-MISC section with box 3 showing $5. I vaguely recall earning this $5 from completing a one time Robinhood in-app survey. When I report this in TurboTax, do I mark this as an intent to earn money? Doing so seems to report this $5 as self-employment income and TurboTax seems to treat it as having a side-hustle and asked a lot of questions about the nature of this work and income. Please advice on how to properly report this.
