How do you enter "SPIFF" for 1099-MISC?

IRS will assess social security/medicare taxes if this does not appear on line'z' of the schedule 1

SPIFF is a software program for organizing commissions that you have received.  If the commissions that you have earned were as an attempt to earn money then they are subject to self-employment tax (SS & Medicare) and the system is entering them correctly.
