If you do not agree with this classification you can speak with your employer to request to be treated as an employee and given a W-2.
If your employer refuses you can file Form SS-8 with the IRS. This will request the IRS to look at your employment situation and make an official determination as to whether you are an employee or an independent contractor. The IRS will contact your employer to gather facts from them to make this determination.
If you choose to do this you can enter your 1099-Misc in Turbo Tax and for the reason received select I got this 1099-Misc for another reason and then My employer reported this extra money on a 1099-Misc but it should have been reported on a W-2.
If you decide not to file Form SS-8 then you will be treated as an independent contractor for tax purposes. This is not always all bad though since you can deduct any un-reimbursed out of pocket expenses you may have directly against your income.
