You do not fill out the 1099, the school does. When you file your tax return, you put the amount shown on the 1099 onto Line 11 (business income) and you also need to fill out Schedule C. You may also have to pay self-employment tax. And as luckydawg said, you should deduct expenses to lower the amount of earnings. The goal is to have a lot of expenses to offset the income. This, of course, begs the question why anyone would agree to be an independent contractor since you do not make money! Like my grandmother used to say "no fart to show for all your work."
I recommend using one of the tax software like TurboTax. It's so easy even this old lawyer can do it! And if your 1099 shows some threshold income, you might even qualify to have your taxes done by a volunteer with the VITA program, which is available all over the country, in every town, big or small.
Or you could always ask your questions here on the forums.
