thank you for the information very helpful, but I am concerned how this may impact the store owner. If I select the option to not file as 1099-NEC but go the route SS-8/substitute W2 it seems the IRS will go back to the store owner to collect taxes and give them a penalty ? Does this sound right ? Or should I talk with the owner and confirm why she issued a 1099-NEC instead of W2 ? My daughter does not work a lot at this store but just enough for me to have to file a return. Trying to do the right thing and understand taxes have to be paid even if it is small.
