Received Form 1099-MISC from state for incentive to return to work

Arizona had an incentive that if you signed a contract to return to work w/in a period of time you could receive $2000. I did receive the $2000 on a 1099-MISC. But don't know how to enter it. It keeps wanting to enter as a business.

The Return to Work payment should be reported as Other Income. Go back to your 1099-MISC entry- I would suggest deleted the entry and starting again.

Does one of these uncommon situations apply? None of the Above

Did the RETURN TO WORK PAYMENT involve work that's like Mark's main job? No

How often did Mark get income for RETURN TO WORK PAYMENT? Got it in 2021

Did the RETURN TO WORK PAYMENT involve an intent to earn money? No
