When you are paid as a contractor then you are considered self-employed. Even though you are doing work for someone else you are the one in charge of your schedule and things like that. So you are considered self-employed for that reason.
If the amount from your 1099-MISC is appearing twice then you may have entered it a second time in relation to your state return. The only place that you should enter the amount you received is when you entered that 1099-MISC form. If you entered the amount anywhere else then you need to go back and delete it.
