Generally, employers include reimbursed expenses as part of your W-2 wages. But if they report it separately (and they can), then from what I understand about the online version of the program (and I could be wrong) you *have* to use TTSE to report the 1099-MISC income, if that income is reported in box 3. If it's reported in box 7, then TTSE is not necessary. (I may have the box numbers backwards too).
But you specifically state you were "Working as a contractor for 3 months.". You were self-employed then, and all of your income for that specific time you were "working as a contractor" would be reported to you on a 1099-Misc. In that case, TTSE is your only choice if using the online version of the program.
If using the CD/Download version of the software that you physically install on your computer, then any version will meet your specific need
@rjs check me on this please.
