How do I get excess business expense reimbursement to flow to Line 1 of Form 1040? It does flow to Sch SE, but not to the Form 1040.

Line 1 is for Wages under a W2 employment position. Sched SE is for Self-Employed, and these two concepts do not share.


An Employee that is over-reimbursed by their employer would have taxable fringe benefit income, as seen on their W2.

A Self-Employed individual never has a "reimbursement" process. It's all theirs, already.
