I received a 1099-Misc which includes consulting fees and reimbursement for out of pocket expenses. Is this correct and how do I report this?

I don't feel being taxed for expense reimbursement is correct.  Should I have an adjusted 1099 without the expense reimbursement?

You enter the full amount of the 1099 as income then you deduct the related expenses for which you were reimbursed.  The net amount should be the income less reimbursements.  You would ldneed to upgrade to self-employed to do this.

What if the reimbursement is a separate check outside of the 1099? I received some for travel, but it really only covered a hotel room. I had quite a bit of mileage on this particular project (Independent contractor question). I’m asking here because it is virtually impossible to start a new thread (cannot figure that out) and search is miserably inadequate this year - and I’ve used TT since about 2000)
