If you received income reported
on a 1099-MISC, you may be treated as self-employed, but getting a
1099-MISC doesn't necessarily mean you'll be subject to self-employment tax.
It all depends on whether this is a recurring activity or a "one-off" activity that's infrequent, not related to your work, and wasn't performed in the tax year prior (or after) the tax year for which you received your 1099-MISC.
If you plan to continue the same type of work in the future, you will likely be considered self-employed, and therefore subject to the self-employment tax.
To enter your income as "other income" :
Type “other taxable income” in the Search box and then select the “Jump to” link. This will take you to where you can enter the prizes related to your artistic competitions. You may be asked some general questions about your income.
To enter your
income from self-employment without a 1099-Misc:
Type “Schedule C” in the Search box and then select the “Jump to” link. This will take you to where you can enter any cash, personal checks or credit card payments (Form 1099-K) related to your self-employment. You may be asked some general questions about your business. After you answer them, you’ll be taken to the Your Business screen where you can enter this income as Additional Income under Business Income.
Any expenses related to the self-employment are entered in the 1099 MISC section:
