Thank you so much!
It sounds like I should wait and see until a certain moment. One thing to emphasize is that even though the ex-employer considered me as an employee not an independent contract and took the W-4 I filled out, I suspect he might have not withheld my taxes properly. Of course, he paid me with taxes deducted.
This means IRS might not have no information at all about this employment, not to mention, the paychecks I had if I understood correctly. Even in this situation, am I still recommended to follow the direction you explained?
