I received a 1099-Misc & a W-2 from my employer. I believe the 1099 is for mileage reimbursement. Will I be taxed on the 1099 amount?

I received reimbursement after filing an expense report every two weeks.

You should not have received the 1099-MISC for re-imubersment if you are a W2 employee.

"Employee business expense reimbursements. Do not use Form 1099-MISC to report employee business expense reimbursements. Report payments made to employees under a nonaccountable plan as wages on Form W-2."

Additionally if your re-imbursment was accountable, where you provide a receipt to receive the re-imbursment, they cannot report what they paid you in a 1099-MISC.

It is advisable that you speak with your employer regarding this discrepancy.
