Where do I enter the information from the 1099-NEC I received if the money was a discount refund of products purchased?

To enter a Form 1099-NEC that is not for self-employment:

Open your return and go to Federal >> Wages & Income >> Other Common Income >> Income from Form 1099-NEC. Click Start/Update.

Or go to Tax Tools >> Tools >> Topic Search. Enter 1099-nec then click Go.

On the screen Did you get a 1099-NEC?, click on Yes

On the screen Let's get the info from your 1099-NEC, enter your information and click Continue
On the screen Describe the reason for this 1099-NEC, enter a reason and click Continue
On the screen Does one of these uncommon situations apply? Select This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from a sporadic activity or hobby and click Continue.

These entries will report the income on Schedule 1 Line 8z Other Income. The total from Schedule 1 Line 10 flows to Form 1040 Line 8 as ordinary income.
