How do I declare a nonemployee compensation (student grant) on my taxes?

I have no income, since I am a full time student this year, and all that I have received is a 1099-MISC that lists a Nonemployee compensation amount that I received from a public interest grant that I was awarded. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to plug this into H&R block's free tax program.

I don't want to have to go talk to a professional over a very small amount, when this is the only thing that I have to declare.

Any help?

    I don't know about H&R Block, but you can do this in TurboTax's free edition - there's a long list of income options including W-2 and all kinds of 1099s; scroll down when you get to that page and enter your 1099-MISC info. You can do a trial run and see what your results are without creating an account or filing, although TurboTax will try to get you to create an account (and upsell you) several times. Just keep passing on the upsell - at the end you can print out and/or save your return as a pdf.

    There will also be questions about your education expenses; don't forget to claim your education expense deductions/credits!
