Non-profit sent me a 1099-NEC but I am not an independent contractor

I work for a non-profit organization and was sent a 1099-NEC , but I do not fit the IRS definition of an independent contractor because the executive director of the non-profit org tells me what to do and how to do.

The non-profit is not tax exempt and doesn't pay anyone as an employee or any medicare/SS taxes.  

 

Does working for a non-profit automatically negate the IRS definition of an independent contractor such that anyone working for them, whether they fit the IRS definition of independent contract or not, needs to pay self-employment tax?

 

IN other words, if I request a reclassification through the IRS, will it be denied because I work for a non-profit?

 

thanks!!!
