Thank you all for your help!
Last question, would it be better to ask the employer to report the amount on a different form so that an automatic SE tax response won't be generated? Or is it too late for that as the 1099-NEC has been filed? If so, which form? I still the think the 1099-Misc is supposed to show the taxable amount but maybe still better than generating an automatic response?
You could ask if the payer will cancel/rescind the 1099-NEC and issue a 1099-MISC. They are not required to do so, especially if their tax advisors think a 1099-NEC is correct in this situation.
