Assuming this is a distribution such as from an Alaska native corporation, you can report it in the Form 1099-MISC section of TurboTax. 

 

To enter a 1099-MISC for miscellaneous income in TurboTax:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Select Search and search for 1099-misc.
  3. Select Jump to 1099-misc.
  4. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-MISC? ...
  5. Enter the info from your form into the corresponding boxes.

When you get to the screen, Does one of these uncommon situations apply?, select "This was a tribal member gaming payment". 

 

Although the distribution doesn't involve gaming, this choice it identifies it as a per capita distribution from a Native entity so that it doesn't get misclassified as self-employment.
