If you have received a Form 1099-MISC with Box 7 completed, then you are considered self-employed. You will need to  file a Form 1040 Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ to report your income and any expenses that may offset your income. 

If your payor has issued an incorrect information statement, then you will have to converse with them to ensure that the correct form is issued (Form W-2).
