I received reimbursement from the state dept of education for work on my National Board Certification. I was reimbursed 1250 for part of the certification fee and 600 in expenses I incurred during the process last year. While I am an educator I am hired/paid through my district not the state dept. So when I completed the paperwork for reimbursement throught the state dept. they required I complete a 1099 which I did. I then received a 1099-Misc indicating other income of 1850. This was not additional income but was reimbursement. Do I still have to claim this as income because I recevied a 1099 Misc?
