Thanks for your reply. I have no idea why/how the nonemployee compensation is overstated, but she has had to correct my 1099 in prior years. So maybe poor accounting practices on their part? She refuses to correct now bc she sold the business. I just want to report what I actually received as income. This is a small part time contract gig. I have multiple gigs and other SE income. Adding a line of Other Self Employment Income as a negative seemed to get to the correct income received. If I entered an extra business expense, wouldn't I be overstating both my income and expenses to get to the correct net amount? I don't know if that matters or not, but just trying to figure out the most correct way to fix someone else's error. Thank you for your help.
