I received a 1099 Misc Income form, but all the money went to my employer. How do I enter this without having to pay the taxes on money I never received?

You'll need to get a letter from your employer that explains that the money represented in the 1099-MISC went directly to your employer. If this income is perhaps included in a W-2 that you've received, you'd also want that information included in the letter from the employer.

Do not include the 1099-MISC income when preparing your return. Instead, attach a copy of the 1099-MISC to the letter from your employer. Include this information with your return, which will need to be mailed to the IRS. Be sure to mail the return using certified mail so that you have proof that it was delivered to the IRS.

Since your employer has already issued this form, the IRS will be receiving one as well. If you did not report it on your taxes, very likely you will receive a IRS letter regarding that. I would suggest you contact your employer for a corrected Form 1099-MISC or proof you did not receive the income. You would then need to submit your tax forms along with the proof to the IRS by mail.
