I am a full-time employee, and I don't have a business.
For some reason, my boss gave both W-2 (larger part of salary) and 1099-misc(box 7, non-employee compensation, only small amount of salary).
What should I do with 1099-misc? Need to file Schedule C? Can I be treated as self-employed?

Thanks

Yes, you need to file Schedule C and Schedule SE as well.

It's likely this 1099 income is some sort of reimbursement for an expense incurred by you while working for your employer. Find out what the expense was and deduct it on the Schedule C, and it will be a wash.

How do I fill out the form? I am using turbotax

Turbotax will do this.
1099-misc means you have self employed income. Read: Your U.S. Tax Return: W2 vs 1099-Misc: Employee vs Independent Contractor.

But I am not self employed, I am full time... this was giving for my expenses, and I made no profit on them... if I paid 100 for hotel I got back 100... no money made... so what froms do I need..

You will still file schedule C (form 1040). Report 1099-misc income and your expenses.

You can enter the expenses cited in the appropriate area of the Schedule C.
