Yes, tax reporting for distributions from
nonqualified deferred compensation
plans depends on the employment
status of the plan participant. Tax
information for employees is reported
using Form W-2, while tax information
for independent contractors (i.e., agents
or members of the Board of Directors)
is reported using Form 1099 MISC.
You can call the company and get the correct information if it causes a problem in e-filing. There could be a transposition of numbers or maybe they are using a DBA.
