I am eligible to be claimed as a dependent, and I was issued a 1099 misc form. I am not self-employed or a business owner but the income is in block 7. How do I file?

If the 1099-MISC was for income from working, then the IRS considers you to be self employed even though you don't think you are particularly when the income is entered in box 7. If you start by just entering the 1099-MISC, TurboTax will ask a series of questions to help you determine whether you were in fact self employed or not. Type 1099-MISC income in the search box and click on jump to 1099-MISC income.
