I received a 1099-MISC from my former employer for the exact amount I paid them for COBRA insurance. How could this be considered income if I sent them the full amount of the premium to cover the insurance? It doesn't seem logical. I get it that they gave me a benefit, but the money part is a wash for them, and an expense for me. Can you please explain what I need to enter when filling out the Turbo Tax questions for this 1099-MISC? Thank you.
