Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Continuing my train of thought.   If they paid you the 500 for materials but only gave you a 1099 for 1,000 labor you would underreport your net income.   You would only be reporting $500 of profit instead of the real 1,000.  

Are you filling out Schedule C for your Contractor income or do you file a separate Business return like a 1120 or 1065?
