How do I “nominee” an amount to my employer

[VolvoGirl]

Please explain that more.  What's it for?

[SweetieJean]

Your W-2 employer?

[VolvoGirl]

If you are self employed you don't have an "employer".  Are you getting reimbursed for expenses or parts you bought?

[RCBOOTHBY]

Yes my employer and I shared in commissions from  a life insurance company .  I was overpaid 50k and had to write a check to my employer.  How do I report this payment so that I am not taxed on money I didn't recieve?

[TaxGuyBill]

How are you being paid from the Life Insurance Company?  As an employee with a W-2?  Or an Independent Contractor with a 1099-MISC?

[RCBOOTHBY]

An independent contractor.  1099Misc.

Thanks Lisa appreciate it!

Simply issue the other person a 1099MISC for what you've paid them and that will be included as an expense on your Sch C, and they will claim it as income.
