You'll need to get a letter from your employer that explains that the money represented in the 1099-MISC went directly to your employer. If this income is perhaps included in a W-2 that you've received, you'd also want that information included in the letter from the employer.
Do not include the 1099-MISC income when preparing your return. Instead, attach a copy of the 1099-MISC to the letter from your employer. Include this information with your return, which will need to be mailed to the IRS. Be sure to mail the return using certified mail so that you have proof that it was delivered to the IRS.
