I have a question about my 1099-NEC for this year. In 2021, I was overpaid by 1 full check (~4,000$) but I had already submitted my 2021 taxes, as even though I'm independent contractor, I work full-time for this company and get the same salary yearly. Instead of filing amended return, my company deducted the money from 8 checks in 2022, to pay back the extra check I got in 2021.
They want to include the money I paid them back for 2021 (~4,000$) on this years 1099, as part of my total wages for this year but I never received that money this year, it went towards the 2021 year when they overpaid me. Can someone confirm that it shouldn't be included on this years, 2022 1099-NEC, as I didn't physically get that money this year. It was withheld from my paychecks in repaying 2021.
