My employer is refusing to give me a 1099-misc and I don't know what I was paid weekly by the company since it varied. How can I still do my taxes?

Yea I have every single copy of all checks and I use turbo tax and I was an employee bc the department of labor had to do a wage investigation to figure out if I was an employee or not at Aladdin shipping and Nejoume express

@AmberLynne  said " I was an employee bc the department of labor had to do a wage investigation"

In that case, you do not file as self employed.  You should wait until early February to see if your employers send you W-2s, since, apparently, the department of labor has told them they should. 

If not, in TurboTax (TT), enter at:

- Federal Taxes tab (Personal in  Home & Business)

 - Wages & Income

Scroll down to:

 -Less Common Income

   -Misc Income 1099-a 1099-C (Press start)

    -On the next screen, select Other income not already reported on a W-2 or 1099

     - On the next screen, answer yes to Did you receive other wages

       - On the next 3 screens, select continue

         - On the next screen, check Yes to Any Other Earned Income

            -On the next screen, check Employee Compensation that was not Reported on a W-2. Follow the rest of the interview. 

You have to pay your share of the Social security tax on form 8919. You also have to submit form SS-8 and the IRS will determine whether you or the employer pays the he employer portion of the SS tax. 

Form SS-8 is not in TT but is here ===>>> http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss8.pdf

Ok thank you, no taxs we’re taken out of my paycheck, matter of fact I was a manager and wrote everyone’s pay on the company paychecks after I was told what to write their checks out for from the boss, he promised he would start taking taxes out on me at the beginning of 2022, he told me that the whole year of 2021 but he lied bc when 2022 came around he never did anything and 2 people 1099 was at the office for so many months bc the boss never reached out to the former employee to give it to them

the iRS wants the SS-8 which is filed separately from your return to be filed before you file your return.

@Hal_Al 

Hal_Al's   answer has all the steps you need to take in the TT program AND the link to the SS-8 you must also fill in and mail.

Pass the info to all the "employees" he wronged ... you all need to do the same and file an SS-8.

[AmberLynne]

I believe I did something like this for the department of labor, they may have filled it out but I had to send all my text of the boss giving me my schedule and everything to prove I was an employee and it took about 7 months to complete from start to finish , yeah I waited almost 8 months for unemployment. It was crazy! But I received a letter in the mail saying that I was determined a employee and was given back pay on my unemployment for Aladdin shipping and Nejoume express 

[AmberLynne]

Oh yeah and I paid in about $700 in taxs last year. I just opted to take it out of my return so if I got a 1099 from them last year bc I was in their face in the office so they had no choice then shouldn’t the irs already know that I’m a employee? I’m a single mom of 2 kids, one special needs and part time work bc I can’t find a job that fits my schedule for my kids school. I have no friends or family to help so I’m trying to file asap before some bills get really really bad. Ty so much for your help.
