Missing 1099 and other tax stuff

If you didn’t fill out a W-4 for your current employer you will be getting a 1099 at the end of the year. Make sure you’re putting money back to pay your income taxes when they come due. As far as last year, just report what you made from 12/5 to 12/31. The IRS only wants their money, they don’t care if you have a 1099 to mail in with your check or not.

 

You don't need a 1099 but you do need to know how much $$ you made during that time period and report it. What @Long FLD said, if you did not fill out a w4 then he is treating you as an independent contractor and you are responsible to pay your federal taxes and social security taxes. And in this case, when you file you are able to deduct most any and all expenses related to your job as well as per diem.

Here is an example: You are bornagain trucking and the small company you work for is Bob's trucking. If you work only for him, you do not pull any of your own loads, then per the IRS, you are an employee. IF you haul for Bob's trucking but you also haul for Jim's trucking and Lou's trucking and even dispatch yourself on some of your own loads, then as far as the IRS is concerned, you are an Independent Contractor, ( you are contracting your services out to other companies).

So, the short answer to your question: You are technically an employee per IRS guidlines.
