Should I have received a 1099-Misc for Employer Reimbursements?
OK, first, you should not be given a 1099-Misc for any reimbursements, if you turned in receipts to the company. If, however, you just submitted an invoice and had them pay you (keeping the receipts) or just told them how much money you spent and they cut you a check, then yes, it is earned income. You will fill out a Schedule C, enter the business income, then enter the same amount as business expenses (i.e., office supplies, etc.). This will cause the net income from your business to be 0, and that zero dollar amount would be included on your 1040 in the appropriate spot (depending on which form you use).
