Please clarify as to whether you reported the value of the stocks as taxable  income when you interned with the start up company in 2016.  

Did you hold the stock certificates?

Were they stock options?

 

The document indicates you were paid as an independent contractor for your work with stocks.  In that case you should report it as self employment income.  You can enter 2022 to complete the tax return if this is the case.  It will be entered correctly on your tax return.
