No, nonemployee compensation is when you were paid for services and you weren't treated as an employee, with federal taxes and Social Security withheld from your pay. Contractors and freelance workers get this kind of pay. If you received a 1099-MISC with an amount in Box 7 for Nonemployee Compensation, you are generally considered to be self-employed. You would be subject to self-employment tax, which is for Social Security, as well as regular income tax.
