Is there a form I need to file to explain why I received both a 1099MISC and W2 from the same company in the same tax year? was contractor first, then hired as employee

I worked as independent contractor first for 6 months and then same company hired me as an employee so I got a 1099MISC for the first 6 months I worked for them last year and a W2 for the other 6 months I worked for them as employee. How to explain that to IRS so they don't flag my return as possible misclassification?

No, there is not a specific form you need to fill out in order to indicate that you switched from being an independent contractor to an employee for the same company.  

The IRS will not flag your return as possible misclassification if you include your Wages reported on your W2 on Line 1 of your Form 1040 and your 1099-MISC income (and any related expenses) on your Schedule C.

It is actually quite common for an independent contractor to be hired on as an employee.
