Self employed
You should never receive a 1099 from your employer. All taxable compensation and reimbursements should be included on a W-2. You should contact your employer to get a corrected W-2. A 1099-Misc or 1099-NEC is for NON employees.
If your employer will not correct this, you will need to enter your income by selecting the following:
- Income

- Report your wages and select I received a 1099-Misc for this income use reason code H
You will have to pay your share of the FICA taxes on this amount.
