You should report that as "Other Income".  To do so in TurboTax Online:

 

  • Click on Search and type in "Form 1099-MISC"
  • Click on "Jump to form 1099-misc"
  • Answer Yes to "Did you get a 1099-MISC?"
  • Enter the information on your 1099-MISC.  The amount you received should be in Box 3.
  • Give a description - For example "Clinical Study"
  • On the next screen mark the radio button to indicate that you "...were in a research study and this was the payment." Then indicate No, that you did not perform a service.
  • This will add your income to Form 1040, Schedule 1, Line 10 as "Other Income".
