I work for a school district and receive a W-2. I received a 1099-MISC in the mail and was told that it was because my travel reimbursement was over $600. I only received the IRS recommended .50 cents per mile. It does state non-employee compensation.

Should I have gotten the 1099-MISC?

If so how do I go about claiming it? From what I have read it should be an expense on their part and therefore not taxed on my end. Most forms say if you weren't reimbursed. But I was and not really sure that I should've been.

Thanks for any help/advice.
