My wife used to work at a large national law firm and left 5 years ago. She received a small (under $500) check for a "client origination bonus" this year [I believe a small percent of what that client generated this year], but did not receive a 1099-Misc form. Turbo-Tax wants me to file a SS-8 form. She didn't perform services this year (and hasn't for 5 years). The questions on the SS8 form do not seem to fit this situation, as that form seems to be geared towards determining if someone is an employee and/or employers who are not reporting employees.
Is this correct?
