No, they should not give you a 1099-Misc, but they should give you either a W-2 or a 1099-NEC depending on if you are considered a household employee or if you are self-employed.
If you are a household employee, they should have been withholding taxes during the year and then they should give you a W-2. If they control the when and how you work and provide all of the items for you to work, then you are likely a household employee.
If you provide home health aide services to multiple people or control the how and when you work, then you would likely be considered self-employed. Although they should provide you with a 1099-NEC, you can still enter your income and expenses without the 1099-NEC as you should be tracking it as you receive it. When you are self-employed, then you are responsible for making quarterly tax payments for both federal and state taxes. You can then use TurboTax Premier Online or TurboTax Home and Business to file a Schedule C reporting your income and expenses as part of your return. This income will be reported on Schedule C which is part of your overall tax return. This also means you will be subject to SE Tax. If you did not pay SE Taxes in 2024, and if you plan to do this again in 2025, it may be a good idea to make quarterly estimated payments to cover your SE taxes of 15.3% and avoid penalties.
