What is a 1099-MISC? i received it from my tribal community as a relief but it was all on a card that could only be used for food at certain stores nowhere near me.

The tribal administration appears to have used the card as a means to distribute income to the members.

When you enter Form 1099-MISC in TurboTax, take care not to enter it in such a way that it appears to be self-employment income. If you did, you may have seen self-employment tax on your return.

If you enter the information in the 1099-MISC section, when you get to the screen that asks "Does one of these uncommon situations apply?" you can check the box "This was a tribal member gaming payment" even if the payment isn't related to gaming, if that is the closest situation that applies.
