To report your self-employment income as common-law employee salaried income:
1) Delete your self-employment income entry
2) Select 'Foreign Employment Compensation' on the Foreign and Other Income Section
3) Enter your self-employment income as salaried income on the 'Foreign Employment Compensation' section when it pops up.

Attention! If you receive a 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC, filing as a common-law employee may trigger the IRS to audit you and your employer.

If your employer disagrees and you are confident you should be classified as a common-law employee, then:
