I am not self-employed and never have been. I also provided no services to this person in tax year 2023 since she left the company in February. I also hadn't worked directly for her for several years by the time she left. I'm confused about how to proceed because I was under the impression I would not be liable for this tax bill - former boss told me this in a phone call after I received the check. What are my options for reporting this income?
