What tax year is it for?  That seems like it would be way too early for any current 2025 reported forms to be displayed there.  

Do you recognize the Payer?   

Did you provide any services as an independent contractor, freelancer, or have some other self-employed business activity?  Or did what some people call "gig work" or "side hustle?"

 TIP:  Without punctuation your last comment above is a bit difficult to read.

Does the mysterious 1099-NEC on your 2025 Wage and Income transcript have your name and address on it?  Or does it have someone else's name and address?     Either way, if you are sure it's not "your" 1099-NEC, then you have to be concerned about the possibility of ID theft.   An SSN could have been mistyped, or it could have been used on purpose to fraudulently get a job, etc.
