Can you help me with my 1099 nec forms

You said former employer.  Did they have behavior and financial control or did you work when you want and use your own tools/equipment?  If so, you can request a W-2. If not, then yes, you would need to upgrade to enter the 1099-NEC.

The IRS considers you an employee if the company:

1. Has behavioral control meaning they control the how, when and where you do your job
2. Has financial control meaning they control how you are paid (ex. do you get a weekly paycheck based on the hours you work, do they withhold taxes from you wages), have an investment in the equipment used (ex. do they own and maintain the cab or is this an Uber type situation)
3. It looks like an employee/employer relationship (do you have benefits)

Basically, if you were able to pick and choose your assignments and schedule, she was likely an independent contractor.  If you could not and the company had control, you can dispute it.

First contact the IRS, if you believe you were an employee.  

You can file for SS-8 and let the IRS determine you employment status it you believe they had behavior and financial control over your employment,
