That's easy to do. But first, are you confident the IRS won't consider it to be self-employment income? I ask, because the last thing you want is for this to come back and bite you 24-36 months after you file. Some things to consider:
- Was the 1099-MISC issued to you by the same employer that issued your W-2? If not, then it "may" be considered SE income by the IRS.
- Did you get paid for providing the same product or service in a prior year, and that pay was reported to you on a 1099-MISC? If yes, then the IRS "may" consider this SE income.
- Do you foresee that you may be paid in 2017 for providing the same product or service, with the income reported to you on a 1099-MISC? If yes, then the IRS "may" consider it self employment income.
