It's confusing and possibly they were not aware of the correct form to use. It should have been reported on Form 1099-NEC if the payment was over $600. If it was less than that, you would still report it as self employment income starting at $1.
This would be self employment income and reported on Schedule C for your consulting work. You can follow the steps in the link below to report your income.
