I have an online part time job, how do I file for that once the time comes??

Define " online part time job" .... will you get a W-2 or a 1099 at the end of the year ?

For 1099Misc self employment independent contractor income

Here is some general info.  You will need to keep good records.  You may get a 1099Misc at the end of the year if someone pays you more than $600 but you need to report all your income no matter how small.  You might want to use Quicken or QuickBooks to keep tract of your income and expenses.

There is also QuickBooks Self Employment bundle you can check out which includes one Turbo Tax Online Self Employed  return....

I work for Dutch Shell Oil company as an online dispatcher. I print out paychecks, and mail them out at my post office. 

Im guessing that I fill out a regular W-2 but I wanted to make sure.

You have to ask them if they will give you a W2 or 1099Misc.  Will this be foreign income?  Is this a legit job?  Be careful, it sounds a little different.

[amnaranjo95]

Okay! It’s not foreign and it is a legit job as far as I’m aware of.

@amnaranjo95  This job sounds similar to the scam described in the article at the link below. I suggest that you check out this employer more carefully. Make sure you know who you're really dealing with - or just get out while you can. And "Dutch Shell Oil" doesn't sound like a real company. It sounds like they're trying to make you think that it's Royal Dutch Shell. But Royal Dutch Shell is a big international company. They don't hire people to work at home sending out payroll checks.

I checked it out, and there are remote/online part time jobs for shell. I checked with my boss and he said that it was shell oil company. I'm going to be getting in contact with the shell company to confirm everything as well though. 

Thank you!
