Hello, I am a Postdoc who received a $1,800 travel award for attendance to a science conference I presented at. The $1,800 had to be used to reimburse my travel expenses to the meeting. I now received a 1099-MISC form from the society with the $1,800 listed in box 3 as other income. Now, it appears that we owe more taxes. Since this money was a reimbursement and not income how can we accurately fix this to reflect that so we are not taxed for money I did not earn?
