Get your taxes done using TurboTax

To clarify, why were you issued a 1099-MISC?

 

Work is usually done by either an employee (W-2) or a contractor (1099)

When a person is an employee, the employer takes care of FICA (Social Security Tax)

When a person is a contractor, they are responsible for the FICA (Self-Employment Tax)

 

Usually when a person receives a 1099, they are self-employed and need to file Schedule C.
