Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can file for SS-8 and let the IRS determine your employment status.  If they had behavior and financial control over your employment, then you should have received a W-2 instead of a 1099.  Did they give you paystubs showing taxes withheld?

 

In the meantime, to report your income, you will need to enter your income by selecting the following:

 

  • Income
  • Show More next to Less Common Income
  • Start next to Misc Income
  • Start next Other income not already reported on a form W-2 or Form 1099
  • YEs to did you receive any other wages
  • Continue through to did you earn any other wages and answer yes
  • Select employee compensation that was not reported on a W-2
  • Hit continue
  • Report your wages and select I received a 1099-Misc for this income use reason code H
