1099-NEC that is incorrect

[TheWisdom]

If I receive a Form 1099-NEC that is incorrect, showing a higher amount than the actual earnings I made (for example, I only earned $2000 but the payer reported $3300 on the Form 1099-NEC), and I am unable to contact the payer to correct the Form 1099-NEC, what should I do?

Could they have included items they reimbursed you for or paid you?
