1099 and former employer

Hi filling out taxes and little confused.

My wife worked as contractor for 7 month in  a year in 2017 for small company X. They got her transferred on W2 when 2018 calendar year started. Then we moved to a different state in May 2018. Once they heard that we are moving, they said we can keep you working remotely, but will need to keep you on 1099. She stayed with them on 1099 till May 2019. Turbo tax is asking is any 1099 work was performed for your former employer. Do it really need to be checked? If it technically was w2 only couple month back in 2018?
