Question

I got a 1099-MISC from my last employer in 2020. I was never self employed or worked as freelancer. How should I report it ?

It appears this 1099 MISC is meant to correct for some w2 mistake or income that was not reported earlier in w2. I was never on contract. I see only "self employment" option for this one

Employee

Which box?

If it is box 3 or 8, that is Other Income.

It is box 3 , and yes other income. But when I fill it , it always takes me to "Self employment " flow and asks questions on self employment. Nowhere I can put it as simple income and be done with it

And again, this is not self employment. I want to avoid using the term self emplyment or side job because we are on H1b visa and cant have 2 jobs like that
