@kfuhster I think you mean you performed services for a business as an S corporation but they issued you a form 1099-NEC reporting the income in your name, not the corporation name. If they entered the corporation federal ID number as opposed to your social security number on the form, you just report the income on the corporate tax return and nothing else is required.

 

If they reported the income under your social security number, the best thing would be if they would correct it. If not, you can enter the income as self-employment income on your personal tax return, then enter an expense for the same amount, called Commissions so the two will cancel each other out. Then, report the income on your corporation tax return.

 

You could also just not report the form 1099-NEC and if the IRS sends you a notice about it later on, just send them a letter explaining that you reported the income on your corporate tax return.
