In your scenario of a startup, you must still file it yourself. The startup company is required to account for this correctly to you and report the income to the IRS. The IRS could fine the company for not reporting correctly. The fact your are a founder and also claiming 1099Misc for the same company can also be a tax concern due to the nature of the relationship. You should speak to a tax advisor and ensure proper reporting. TT does not support 83(b) reporting as it's an election that you make not an income tax form.
**I don't work for TT. Just trying to help. All the best.
