Income for for social security work credit eigibility

[Taxhelpneeded2023]

Hi @xmasbaby0 , my son doesn’t claimed me as a dependent and he doesn’t have any kids. 

I think I’m not so sure if my situation would be an independent contractor since my “client” is only my son and he doesn’t issue me w2 or 1099.

If your son paid you at least $2600 you may be a household employee and he needs to issue you a W-2.  Or....if you are an "independent contractor" then you do not have to have a 1099 in order to report self-employment income.  You just enter the cash income you received--he does not have to give you a 1099.
