Yes, it is taxable income.

No, it is not self-employment income. 

Please enter the 1099-MISC following these steps:

Enter the 1099-MISC Under
Wages & Income
Other Common Income
Income from Form 1099-MISC    START

Enter the 1099-MISC as it was reported, 

Type "Christmas bonus" or something similar in for the description, 

Select "None of these apply" for uncommon situations, 
"NO" not like main job, 
Only got it in 2024,  
"NO" no intent to earn money, 
DONE

These are TurboTax questions, not IRS questions. These need to be the answers to let TurboTax know it is not Self-Employment.
