No, an award is not self employment income. It should be entered as an award. I imagine you have a 1099-MISC showing box 3. If not, change the instructions to fit your situation. Since you and the program are fighting, delete the 1099 and do this instead. go to the federal income section scroll to the bottom Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, Start Scroll to the bottom Other reportable income, Start Other taxable income? Select YES Description 1099-MISC box 3 Amount, enter your amount continue

Question

I was awarded money from the state of Florida for being District Teacher of the Year. I received a 1099 for this money. Do i need to report it as self employment income?
