I was fired illegally and won my case. The NLRB awarded me backpay and front pay, which is taxed.
However, the NLRB also awarded me reimbursement for any expenses related to this illegal firing (traveling for interviews, hotels, moving expenses).
The company wants to issue me a 1099 for the reimbursement of these expenses. The NLRB asserts that these expenses should NOT be taxed.
What should I be getting instead of a 1099? I've searched online and I can't find anything about what tax form I should receive instead. When I told the NLRB, they asked me what I should get instead of a 1099.
Am I wrong thinking that if I get a 1099, then I must report that as income, and I must pay taxes? But, the NLRB is saying I shouldn't be taxed on that invome.
I don't know what tax form to request now.
