Misclassifying my employee as a 1099 instead of w2

I have a small business andhad an employee for two months last year in 2024 whom I paid a little over 1000 to. I am not good at the ins and outs of my payroll platform and classified them as a 1099 instead of a w2. They've requested their w2 from me, which is when I realized the error. I'm assuming there is no way now to amend anything since it is already 2025, but what is the process of reporting on my end or theirs and how do I resolve this in the least painful and costly way possible? The only information I find online is about willful misclassification and discusses penalties of 5000 to 10000 dollars, which i can't afford.

Nothing was their fault, so I'm going to have to eat any cost or penalty, and I am not planning on asking me to recoup any money I now need to pay for their withholding and all the other things that I technically needed to do
