Select “No, it didn’t involve work like main job” and continue through the interview selecting the appropriate answers for a one-time payment
The amount from the 1099-MISC will be reported as Other income on the 1040 line 7a, not as Self-employment
After that I see that $7 from 1099-Misc reported as self-employed income.
I am on H1B visa and can't be self-employed. How can I avoid self-employed record and report 1099-Misc with $7?
I entered mine as "Referral bonus stock" and then recorded the other income as "Prize money."
That should work for you. You should see the income on line 8 of schedule 1, part I on your federal tax return if it gets processed correctly.
"Did you report a capital gain/loss?" - what is this question in reference to? a 1099-MISC? a coupon or referral bonus?
