I got a 1099 misc from my full time employer for a side job I do in the winter.

It keeps thinking I'm self employeed but it is extra income due to being subcontracted. It brings me to a form where I don't seem to have all the info. It will not let me file as is. Thanks!

If the income is reported in box 7 of the 1099-MISC, then it's self-employment income and must be reported as such on SCH C as a part of your personal 1040 tax return.

The IRS considers anything in box 7 of 1099-MISC to be self employment income. Enter the 1099-Misc income, at Other Common income / income from a 1099-MISC . TurboTax (TT) will complete Schedule C or C-EZ for you and allow you to deduct any expenses associated with this income. You'll also have to pay self employment tax (social security & Medicare) on any profits greater than $400. 

If the side job is unrelated to your regular work, then  These types of payments are frequently done this way. Your "employer" is not the only one.
