2018 Taxes - 1099-Misc

Hello,

 

I am trying to complete my 2018 taxes (procrastination at its best). For 6 months of the year I worked as a contractor (verbal agreement) with my employer but have never received a 1099-misc. I have contacted the employer multiple times with no response. I am trying to figure out how to enter this in my tax return.

You don't need a 1099-Misc, if you know how much you made. You can look back at your bank deposits to help figure it out.

 

Report income without a 1099. Here's how to do that:

  • Click on Federal Taxes 
  • Click Wages & Income
  • Under All Income, click Show all income
  • Scroll to Self-Employment, click Start
  • Click Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
  • Enter any income from sales or services that weren't reported on Forms 1099-MISC

Thank you for the reply. I purchased the TurboTax 2018 Home & Business version - I am not seeing the options you presented below. The tabs I have available at Personal Info, Business, Personal, State Taxes, ect..

Your self-employment income would be entered in Business in that program.
