Tax question regarding fuel

Reimbursement. I get a certain amount of money at the beginning of the month for fuel. No taxes are taken out of that check and my employer will 1099 me for it. How do I report this. I keep all my fuel receipts, I'm just worried I will have to pay taxes on it and its a lot of money.
I don't know much about taxes so if the above question makes no sense sorry.

Are you an independent contractor? Not quite enough info in your question. If you are reimbursed for your fuel expenses, you have no fuel expenses.

I'm a salary employee. The amount I get per month is fixed, wether I drive 20miles or 400miles.

It'll be included in your gross wages in your W-2. You'll need to list your automotive expenses as unreimbursed employee business expenses which will become an itemized deduction. If you don't itemize, that's bad news. If you do there's still a 2% floor on these deductions, but hopefully you've been slightly overcompensated for gas.
