1099 Misc

[talasila80]

All,
I am currently employed with an American company on H1, They also filed my labor for GC process, To pay the attorney regarding GC filing, my employer paid 2500 bucks as a 1099 Misc to me, are there any complications declaring this amount in my tax return, the employer details on 1099 and my H1 are same. Do I need to convert this 1099 Misc to something else to file tax??
Appreciate any help,
Sri

You can not convert 1099-MISC into anything else. Just report it as it is.

Hopefully your employer reported it in box 3 (other income) rather than box 7 (nonemployee compensation). See the other posts related to receiving a 1099 while on H1b.
