My husband received $774 for what we believed to be independent contractor work. We didn't receive a W-2 or a 1099-MISC from the company. We reported the income under the "Miscellaneous Income" Category. When we did so, TurboTax instructed us to submit an SS-8 form. We have researched the SS-8 form and understand its purpose. However, we frankly do not care to investigate whether he should have been classified as an "independent contractor" vs. "employee". We don't believe it will affect our tax return either way, and it honestly does not matter to us. Do we HAVE to submit the SS-8 form???
