UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019

You can enter the income in TurboTax as Other Common Income. Depending on your answers to the questions, the 1099-MISC income will flow to either the Schedule C (where you can enter any expenses incurred with the income) OR on line 8 of the 1040 Schedule 1.

To report the income on line 8 of the 1040 Schedule 1 and not generate Schedule C or SE tax. Please use the following steps:

Click on Federal > Wages & Income.
Scroll down to the 1099-MISC and Other Common Income section.
Click on the Start/Update box next Income from Form 1099-MISC.
If you've already entered the 1099-MISC you will see the 1099-MISC Summary.
Click Edit next to the 1099-MISC.
On the screen, Did the XX involve work that's like [your] main job? Answer No.
On the screen, How often did [you] get income for [XX]? Mark that you got it in 2019.
Answer Did it involve an intent to earn money? No
