Received a 1099-NEC for Education Reimbursement

I received a 1099-NEC for education I personally paid for and reported in 2023, but I was not reimbursed by my employer until 2024. The amount on the document is less than the $5,250.00 in federal tax-free benefits, I do need to pay state tax, but when entering the 1099-NEC I am subject to federal tax as it is classified as "non-employee compensation". This reimbursement was not included in my W-2. Am I correct in entering this as a non-employee compensation?
