I cleaned an office for part of 2006 and all of 2007. I know I worked more than $600 worth in 2006, so I asked the office manager how I should file. (I got a check every week with NO paystub attached. She told me not to…"if you make under a certain amount…" etc. ) WELL, I just got a 1099-MISC the other day for 2007 for $3060! I was never asked to fill out any information..again paid in checks only, no pay stub info at all. I know zero about self employment. (The 1099 box says "nonemployee.") So, what do I pay?? A tax guy said I SHOULD have been given a W-9. I have no idea what that is. Online info is too vague, as I mentioned I know nada about SE Taxes. I also clean my church but they give me a W4 and W2. Anyone’s help would be appreciated. No rude comments, please…(also, I guess they got my SSN from my patient records, as I never gave them that for work purposes.)
you will need to use a schedule se, which is for self employment tax do determine your tax, also you will need a schedule c for profit or loss from business. filling out the w9 would have given you a tin, which would give your ”business” a tin, used for tax purposes, which is mainly for business that have to pay estimated tax. the church gave you a w4 because they treated you as an employee. .
