You can enter your income as though you don't have a Form 1099-MISC.  Delete the Form 1099-MISC and enter your income by using the steps below. 

Box 7: Nonemployee Compensation:

To get started in TurboTax (online or desktop) 

  • In the search box, upper right 
  • Search for schedule c
  • Jump to schedule c
  • Enter a description of your activity for this income 
  • Select "Additional Income"  (see image)

Box 3:  Other Income:

  • Federal Taxes > Wages & Income > Other Common Income > Income from Form1099-MISC > Update 
  • Edit > Continue (if all your information is there and the income is in box 3)
  • Type description, if necessary
  • Continue > Check None apply
  • No it did not involve work
  • Select got it in 2016
  • No it didn't involve an intent to earn money
  • Finish

This will place the amount on line 21 as it should. You can review your return by using the steps here.
