Texas taxpayer. Received 1099-NEC with no income tax withheld and amount shown in Box 1 as Nonemployee Compensation. I believe taxpayer is an employee and not a contractor. If filed as "Uncollected Social Security and Medicare tax on wages," it calculates and taxpayer owes, which I believe is the correct filing. However, if calculated under "Form 1099-MISC/NEC, Nonemployee Compensation" a critical error message is received that income, etc. must be entered and I won't be able to file return. I don't really know the true agreement between employer/employee, but believe employer is using nonemployee incorrectly since taxpayer works in employer office, uses employer computer, and probably works a standard business day at direction of employer. How should I handle?
