I worked for a landscaping company seasonally. What do i punch in?

[rico68]

I worked for them , I did what they told me. They paid me for doing THEIR work.  It's 1099 so they don't have to deal with medical or anything really

It may not be their choice. See this:

suggesting negotiating with them  , at least for the added costs to you. Complaining to the IRS, while leading to  proper classification and fine for the employer, may result in "no-rehire" for you with this employer. You may be "dead" right

Meanwhile, you still need to know how to file your tax return, right?  Assuming you got a 1099Misc instead of a W-2, if you qualify, there is a free version of TurboTax you can use to report "self-employment" income:

You cannot enter a 1099Misc when you are using the Free Edition.  If you qualify, there is another free software program available from TurboTax which will allow you to enter self-employment income reported on a 1099Misc.

Try the Freedom Edition:

You qualify if your income was $33,000 or less, or $64,000 or less if active duty military, or if you qualify for Earned Income Credit
