Thank you. I'd love to avoid the fees, but I don't have a good sense of the risks involved, and I'm a pretty risk-averse person. If there is a substantial likelihood that the IRS will look at her forms and know that the NEC wasn't for self-employed work such that the $12.950 threshold applies, great! Prior posts make me worry, though ... I appreciate folks sharing what they would do to help us decide the most prudent and responsible course.
