If the amount is in box 3 and it's below $10,250, you don't have to file. It's considered prize or reward money.
>Form 1099-MISC - Box 3 Other Income
>Generally, the amount from Form 1099-MISC, Box 3 is reported as Other Income on Form 1040, Line 21. The amount reported in Box 3 may be payments received as the beneficiary of a deceased employee, prizes, awards, taxable damages, Indian gaming profits, or payments from a former employer because you are serving in the Armed Forces or the National Guard for a period of 30 or fewer days. Examples of Other Income which are not subject to self-employment tax are taxable distributions from an ESA or HSA, jury duty pay, and other taxable income from an activity not engaged in for profit. For more examples please refer to IRS Instructions for Form 1040.
Box 7 is for self employment.
