I teach online for a company in China and will not recieve a 1099. I believe I need to make myself a 1099 as an independent contractor. If so, am I the payer?

You do not need to receive a form 1099-MISC to report your self-employment income as a teacher. You do not issue yourself a 1099-MISC either.

You just report the income you received from the company in China as self-employed income under Other self-employed income.

In business income, just under Type of Income, click on Add Income for this work (see screenshot 1)
On the next page, click on the radio button next to Other Self-employed Income (see screenshot 2)
Click Continue to enter your income received in cash, checks or bank transfers.
