So i applied for unemployment in 2020 as an independent contractor because i mowed lawns around my neighborhood for cash. I was 16 at the time and was looking for a job. Needless to say Unemployment is asking for all of their money back so i had to get a Lawyer to fight for my unemployment benefits. Do i have to issue that lawyer a 1099. They said i don’t but i want to make sure. I paid the lawyer a total of 300$ but i’m supposed to be giving them another 300$ equaling 600$ and want to make sure i don’t have to send a 1099. Also the lawyer is self employed
