Reimbursements added to 1099 as income

Hi, I am a self employed tour guide and work with a company that made me pay for some expenses (that were directly related to the tours they hired me to do) out of pocket. They reimbursed me for those expenses but the reimbursements were ultimately treated like income and added to my 1099. I don’t know what I should do...Can I now add those amounts as deductions when I do my taxes so I’m not being double taxed?

And if I can deduct them, what catagory would that fall under when filing..? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Yes.  Add the items as expenses in the self-employment area for your tour guide job.
