I have searched the forums for answers about my reimbursed employee taxes and I sure hope someone can help me. I live in one city and work in other, to prevent having to commute on a daily basis I rented an apartment in which my company reimburse me for the rent but not other expenses.

I usually do my own taxes, however, this year my boss decided to issue a 1099-MISC for the reimbursed rental expenses. This I don't understand why issue me a form indicating income when it's not income. But the amount on the form is listed as Nonemployee compensation, meaning I received compensation and did not have taxes withdrawn. Is this the correct form the company should have issued for reimbursed expenses? What should I do?

Actually, the best way to handle this is to list the Form 1099 income on Schedule C, then list the Same AMOUNT as an expense on the same Schedule C. That way, you have a wash, which means it has no effect on your tax return.
