Question

How do I record the W2 income for my business?

I have in previous years received a 1099-MISC from companies I provided consultation for using my LLC. Last year I received a W2 from the client I helped. How do I record the W2 income for my business?

It sounds as though your client paid you as an employee, in error, and should have reported on 1099-Misc instead of issuing a W-2. This being said, unless the client is willing to correct this issue, you'll have no choice but to record the W-2 as personal income.

I would advise you contact your client and request they correct this issue, prior to filing your return. You may need to request an extension for filing your return in order to allow the time necessary to correct this error.
