    When you enter the 1099-MISC form in TurboTax, you need to indicate that the money was from an activity that you didn't do in the previous or next year, that it wasn't related to you main job and you didn't have a profit motive to earn the money. Then the income will be treated as "other income" as opposed to self-employment income.
