We received our 1099 and realized that some company reimbursments had been included on our 1099. if we moved those to a reimbursed expense line item does that open up a can of worms with the company we received our 1099 from? or is it just simply a write off now and our taxable income goes down?

we don't know what to do

“We received our 1099 and realized that some company reimbursments had been included on our 1099. if we moved those to a reimbursed expense line item does that open up a can of worms with the company we received our 1099 from? or is it just simply a write off now and our taxable income goes down?”=============> When a company pays a non-employed worker for reimbursed expenses, they may or may not need a 1099-MISC filed. For instance, imagine an outside contractor worked in a temporary office and required printer paper or other office supplies, and the company paid for those expenses. If the contractor gave the company all of the receipts for the expenses, then the company does not need to include them in a 1099-MISC. However, if the contractor kept those receipts, then the reimbursed expenses must be included on the contractor's 1099-MISC. If the company received the receipts and the expenses are included on the 1099, then, you , as a contractor , can ask for an updated 1099. The company needs to add up all the money given to you for your expenses while working for the company. If you paid with your own card and the company gave you cash for those transactions, the company reports the total amount given to you and reports it in Box 7 of the 1099-MISC .You need to report the income on 1099 on Sch C Part I.The expenses are deducted in Sch C Part II perhaps as other exp on line 27a .The expenses get subtracted from the income. Only the result gets put on your main 1040 form as income.
