Hello,
I'm trying to help my friend figure out this weird situation. She spent most of 2022 nannying for this lady she knows and she made about $19k the whole year. Her employer did not sign up for an EIC or anything, she did not give my friend a 1099-NEC or a W2. From my research, she should have gotten a W2 as she does not have much autonomy in her job and is a household employee. When my friend went to file her taxes, she didn't know what to do so she put her income in a 1099-MISC, but then her entire $6,000 refund disappeared! She ended up only getting a couple hundred back in a refund despite qualifying for several credits. She does not own or operate a real business so she should not be liable for 100% of the tax burden, it should be split between her and her employer. However, we aren't sure how to rectify the situation. Is it too late for her employer to give her a W2 for 2022? Is she just screwed? Help please!
