1099 misc box 6

[Bucky]

Client received 1099 misc for medical and health payments. My gut tells be this income would be treated the same as non employee comp subject to SE but way back in my mind I remember a case with hospital emergency workers that were paid 1099 misc were not required to pay SE tax. I tried doing a search for this but can't find anything. Anyone remember this case. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry,

I'm looking at my "Instructions for Form 1099-MISC" booklet and it simply doesn't say one way or the other whether or not it's subject to SE. I haven't heard of the case you mention. I agree with you that it seems like it should be just as any other services.
