Ask the taxgirl: No 1099
Taxpayer asks:
I have a question regarding a 1099 or rather a lack there of. I did independent contractor work for a company and they have not issued me a 1099 for 2007. I have a friend who did work for them in years prior and they never issued her one either. Do I report the money I earned on my taxes?
Taxgirl says:
Yes. Assuming that you are a US taxpayer, you must reported all income received, regardless of whether a form 1099 or W-2 was issued.
For more information about forms 1099, see my prior post on the subject.
Like any good lawyer, I need to add a disclaimer: Unfortunately, it is impossible to give comprehensive tax advice over the internet, no matter how well researched or written. Before relying on any information given on this site, contact a tax professional to discuss your particular situation.
