Need to speak with a representative

My 16 year old son had a summer job.  received a 1099-misc but not a W2.  What do we do?

If the 1099-MISC was for more than $400, your son must file his own tax return to pay self employment taxes.  He will also owe federal income tax if he earned more than $6300.

If he files a return, he must indicate on his return that he can be claimed by someone else.
