Received a 1099-NEC and W2 for same work as a "leased employee"

I work remotely for an out-of-state company. When I was hired by this company I was onboarded to a third party that handles the payment processing and W2's. They told me they do this for their out-of-state employees and that I'm technically considered a "leased employee". But it's full-time and I have no other relationship with this third-party.

 

That all seems fine - I received a W2 from the middle-man. But I also received a 1099-NEC from the actual company I work for for a yearly bonus. I assume they paid this to me directly and not processed through the employee leasing company.

 

When I go to enter the 1099-NEC in TurboTax it seems to want to consider it self-employment income. I'm wondering the correct way to enter this 1099-NEC considering it's a bonus for the work I'm getting paid W2 for - where is the correct place to enter it?
