I work two jobs and one of them i get paid cash and i work for someone with no taxes taken out how do i file my taxes through turbo tax and they do not have the 1099 form

The "job" where you get paid cash is self-employment. You have to report it as business income. You are in business for yourself, as far as taxes are concerned, even if you don't consider it a business. You can't report business income in TurboTax Free Edition. You have to use one of the paid editions. If you have any business expenses to deduct against your business income, you have to use either TurboTax Self-Employed or any edition of the CD or download TurboTax software.

You don't need a Form 1099-MISC to report your self-employment income or business income. You can report it based on your own records of how much you received. There is a place in TurboTax to enter general business income that was not reported on a Form 1099-MISC.

Last year i used the Deluxe program online so can i use that one again and also would this work when i report my job that taxes come out of i have no business expenses just what i got paid throughout the year so that’s still considered self employment even if i worked for someone else i know that’s what your but i just need confirmation one more time and thanks for responding

I don't think you can use Deluxe online when you don't have a 1099-MISC. If you use TurboTax Online you would have to use Self-Employed.

Any version of TurboTax will handle the job where you get a W-2 with taxes taken out. Whatever version you use for your self-employment will also handle the W-2 job.

Yes, it's still self-employment, even if you have no expenses. You were an independent contractor to the person that you "worked for." You were not an employee, and the other person was not your employer, even though you "worked for" him or her.

Sorry but this is so confusing so basically it’s still indepent even if i am an employee and their  my employer but i get paid with a check but i have no w2 or taxes taken out I’m not trying to sound dumb but i just want to make sure to get the right form thanks again

You are NOT an employee. You are an independent contractor. And they are not your employer. They are your customer. An employee gets a W-2 from the employer. If no taxes are taken out from what they pay you. and you are not getting a W-2, you are not an employee. You are an independent contractor. Being an independent contractor is the same as being in business for yourself or being self-employed. They are just different words for the same thing.
