I agree that the income was reported improperly. However, this is a common mistake so it will not necessarily create an issue with the IRS, especially if the amount is small and you don't have similar reporting from other activities. If the issuer of the form will not correct it, you can either report it as other income or self-employment income. If you report it as other income and the IRS is concerned about it, they will give you an opportunity to explain why you categorized it as such.
