Not self-employed but 1099 Misc entry keeps telling me I am, how do I get it as just additional income?

If the amount is in box 7 on the 1099Misc the IRS considers it self employment independent contractor income.  Why did you get it?  It might really be self employment income.

It's in box 3.  I teach high school, it's a daily stipend for additional weekend training.

IRS instruction for box 3 says it either goes as other income (line 21 of schedule 1) or on Schedule C.  since this is for additional work for services performed it's subject to self-employment taxes. if you get a 1099-Misc for your regular work, read no farther.     

if you're an employee, you get a W-2, the stipend should have gone on it since it would be considered additional compensation.   if this is the case you are really supposed to file IRS form 8919.     It's a red flag to receive both a W-2 and 1099-Misc  from the same employer.     I should also inform you that filing the 8919 will likely result in the IRS contacting your high school as to why it wasn't on your W-2.
