In March of 2022, my wife took our foster son from Colorado to Louisiana to meet his mother for the first time in 7 years, pending their upcoming re-unification in May of 2022.
She submitted the expenses to Arapahoe County Human Services to get reimbursed for travel there and back. Arapahoe County Government issued a 1099-NEC to us. This was not payment for services, nor was it a business expense. It was simply to recover the cost of their trip. Why is this counted as income and is there a way to get it taken off?
