Employer Won't Send Client Her 1099-misc

[Jiggers]

1099?

My Client Is A Single Mother Who Would Qualify For Eic And Definetly Needs The Money But She Does Not Seem To Be Able To Get A 1099 From Her Employer. What Can She Do?

Employers issue W-2's to employees, not 1099's.

She Is A Massage Therapist. She Does Not Work There Any More. She Was Paid By Check But There Was No Ytd Totals On Her Check Stubs.

What type of work does she do? And how does she get paid > Cash or Check? Is she still working for the employer?

She Is A Terrible Record Keeper And Has No Idea What Her Income Was.

Does she have any record of what she earned in 2009? If so, report that info.

It would be nice to have it to prove the income if EIC is envolved. Reporting income is the TP obligation.

In the final analysis, the presence or absence of a 1099-misc doesn't really matter. It's nice to have for verification of the amounts and it's helpful to know that the Schedule C equals or exceeds the amounts reported on all 1099's, but the basis for the gross income on a Schedule C should be the self-employed person's own records.
