How do I give a 1099 to my employer because I received a 1099-NEC when I shouldn't have.

I am an insurance agent who works for an agency. I receive a W-2 from them because our commissions are assigned to the agency. I received 2 1099-NEC forms from 2 insurance companies. Both companies refused to issue corrected 1099-NECs.

How and what forms do I give my employer to reassign the income? How should it be entered into TurboTax? I DON'T want to wait on a 'Red Flag' letter to try and explain the messed up situation.

If you are referring you should not receive a 1099-NEC but a W-2, you can select the option under the 1099-NEC section. Here are the steps:

In TurboTax online,

Sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off
From the upper right menu, select Search and type in 1099nec and Enter
Select the Jump to 1099nec
Follow prompts
On screen, " Does one of these uncommon situations apply? " select "Your employer reported this extra money on a 1099-NEC but it should have been reported on a W-2"
Follow prompts to create Form 8919 to report it as wages.

The amount should show on line 1 as wages on your Form 1040.

If this does not resolve your issue, please write back with clarification.
