Hello,
I received stock options when I was hired full-time employee at a company. I worked there full-time for three years while stock vested then I converted to contractor for about 5 months and the stocks also vested. I sold the stock options but the company refused to make it W2 payment but instead said they will issue 1099-MISC (1099-NEC now I believe).
Am I responsible for the SE taxes for the sale of stock ? Or should the company issue W2 ?
If W-2 is the answer and company continue to refuse, can I ask them to issue 1099-MISC as Other income instead ? Or can I just file Schedule C as Other income if they also refuse ?
Thanks
