I attended a conference, and they pad my wife and I a travel expense ($1600) stipend to attend, and we received a 1099-NEC. We paid about $1500 in airfare. It seems like I need to claim the $1600 as business income, and then deduct the travel expenses, but it wasn't really connected to my business. It was reimbursement for the travel. How do I handle this?

Please clarify if the conference you attended was related to your employment since you indicated that it was not related to your business.

It was tangentially related to my business--I do educational consulting, and it was an educational conference.

Tangentially because it wasn't a flight reimbursement to do consulting per se.

And, it was issued in my wife's name, not mine.

All other attendees just got their flights reimbursed. We applied early and paid for our flights, so they gave us a lump sum and told us to deduct the flight costs.
