My brother had to take a class to update his teaching license.  The school corporation reimbursed him for the cost but issued him a 1099-NEC.  Confused as to how to add this to his 1040 as he is not self employed.  Any suggestions??

    Please follow the steps below to enter 1099-NEC if it is not related to self-employment:

    1. Click on Tax Home from Left Side Menu.
    2. Click on Wages & Income from main screen.
    3. Scroll down till you see the section titled "Other Common Income". Within this section, there will be an option for Form 1099-NEC. Click Start next to it.
    4. Then you should see a page titled "Did you get a 1099-NEC?". Click Yes on it and enter the information.

    This method will allow you to enter 1099-NEC for income not related to self employment.

    When I follow these instructions, it leads me to complete a Schedule C wanting details of his business...the problem is there isn't one.  Would I choose the option this "it is a sporadic...?"

    That sporadic option is the one that will work.  It is the one I use for situations like this.
