Best Answer

Form 1099-MISC is Miscellaneous Income. The person/business (the Payer) who pays at least $600 in income, rents, prizes, etc., is required to file Form 1099-MISC. When a Payer provides you with Form 1099-MISC, this means that the Payer considers you as self-employed, not as an employee.

In the preceding situation, no taxes have been withheld/paid for you. This means that you're responsible for income taxes, Medicare, and Social Security. Generally you'll file Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business) or Schedule C-EZ (Net Profit from Business) along with Form 1040. Also if your net earnings on Schedule C/C-EZ are at least $400, then you also will file Schedule SE (Self-Employment Tax).

For more information, go to www.irs.gov/taxtopics for Topic 762 (Independent Contractor vs. Employee).

And, also, since most 1099 income is not withheld income, there is the risk of an underpayment penalty.

How does the government tax a 1099 form?

They don't tax a 1099 form. A 1099 form is an information return. The payer sends the recipient the 1099 form letting them know how much they paid them in the prior year. The payer sends the 1099 form to the IRS as well. The recipient reports this income on Form 1040. The IRS then double checks that what was paid, was received. The IRS uses the 1099 forms to double check but also to gain information. They can follow the money and then tax money flow when they feel like it.
