I am reimbursed by my former employer for my Medicare Part B premiums that are either deducted from my social security payment or paid by check when I first retired.
I received a 1099-NEC from my former employer for the amount of the reimbursement.
I entered this in TurboTax, and the program is assessing a self-employment tax. I am not self employed and this amount was not wages. There is no option to make a correction to the entry.
I take the standard deduction, so there is no option to report the income and then deduct it as a medical expense to zero it out.
Do I ignore the 1099-NEC? Is there another way to address this?
