I'm a teacher and I received a $5000 stipend from my state for achieving National Board Certification. They sent me a 1099-misc form but I'm losing $1906 when I enter it?

With TurboTax open select  Wages & Income click on I'll choose what I work on

Scroll down to Less Common Income and select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C

On the next page select Other reportable income 

On the page Other Taxable Income enter  teacher stipend in the description

This will put the income on Schedule 1 Line 21 of your 1040, as required by the IRS.  You will pay state and federal income tax on the amount, but it will not be subject to self-employment tax.
