I'm retired and one of the benefits from my former employer is reimbursement for Medigap coverage if I purchase it from the former employer. Every year they issue a 1099 MISC with the amount in box 3. In Turbotax, I answer the questions under "Income from form 1099 MISC" appropriately but if I check the boxes indicating I got the 1099 MISC in prior years and next year it insists that I pay self-employment taxes. This was not employment and I should not have to pay self-employment taxes. Is there a way around this other than lying about the years I get the form?
