I received 1099-MISC with amount in box 6 for critical care insurance reimbursement. I am not self-employed so why do I have to complete Schedule C?
If I have to complete the Schedule C what do I put for the company name. I am not self-employed. The amount was to reimburse for out of the pocket medical bills that were not covered by insurance due to high deductible.
