1099-NEC

cswag2013 — Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:27:30 GMT

Hello, I received my first 1099-NEC. I received this as I am apart of a leadership camp. During Covid, a person created their own business and other leadership camp could hire the person and their company to help build up their camp. I and others volunteered to go and they reimbursed us for our plane ticket and for hiring us I suppose to help. I basically received reimbursement. I’m not self employed and I don’t pay anybody. I pay for my ticket and I get my money back for that and money for my volunteer service. Right now, I do not know how to report that as it is saying I owe when I do not think that is correct.

If you received a 1099-NEC, I think (and I'm pretty sure the IRS will also think) that you are indeed self-employed. So I would advise you to complete a Schedule C, reporting the 1099 and deducting your authorized meal costs in the slot provided. You can use either the actual costs or the IRS per diem. They go in the 50% slot, so you will probably have a profit. It's Line 26B. More information at 2024 Instructions for Schedule C (2024) | Internal Revenue Service
