It's not clear what all of this means: "with no other expenses that's why I was trying to claim 1099 as other income to avoid a Sch C to get hit with SE tax"

What does "no other expenses" have to do with an Employee working from home?

And a 1099 is never used for anything on your topic.

And why would you consider there would be, or you need to avoid, Sched C? Nothing here is Sched C or SE.

Assuming these facts: This is an Employee, working from Home.
