I was being paid in cash for 5 months in 2023, but my employer was taxing the cash. What do I do?? What do I file?

You need to find out how the employer is reporting that income to you.

Could be either a W-2, or a 1099-NEC, depending on whether or not they were treating you as an actual employee, or an independent contractor.......and in either form, the tax withholding could and should be reported on that form, if the employer is operating correctly.

Okay… I mean I was definitely her employee along with 4 other people. She owned the business all I did was do my job which was to watch kids. So is she suppose to give me both w2 and 1099 OR one of the other???
