I don't see how - as a 1099 worker you were self-employed. Unless you paid into the state unemployment fund, you weren't covered by unemployment insurance. Actually, even if you paid into the fund, as a self employed you wouldn't qualify. However, If you qualified for it by previous "employee" employment - from prior to this 3 years, you probably are still able to. But on the self employment (1099 income) alone, no.

Form 1099-MISC is Miscellaneous Income. A person or business that gives you a Form 1099-MISC considers you as self-employed, not as an employee. But they could be wrong. Businesses save money and time on paperwork by not considering you as an employee. They don't withhold income taxes, and they aren't making Medicare or Social Security payments for you.

Go to www.irs.gov/taxtopics to view/read Topic 762 Independent Contractor vs. Employee. Call the IRS 1-800-829-1040 to determine whether you're really self-employed. Also, contact your state unemployment office. If you really should have been treated as an employee, then the business should have been paying unemployment taxes on your behalf.

Yes. If you qualified due to your last employment release and you state you are looking for any kind of work available, whether it be part-time employee or part-time 1099 and you report your earnings.

Not legally. Someone with a 1099 is considered a sub-contractor. Technically they work for themselves, and aren't an employee.

Usually no, a 1099 is for a subcontractor & generally you have to be regular for a req'd term.

They will be taken into consideration. But a 1099 doesn't have employment taxes taken out.

Probably not. A 1099 is not given to an employee, but to an independent contractor.

Can you file a tax return with just unemployment benefits as an income?

Not only can you file a tax return with just unemployment benefits, but in some cases you have to. Unemployment benefits are considered income, and as long as your income is greater than the filing threshold, you have to file a return. For 2012 the filing thresholds are $9,750 for single filers and $19,500 for a married couple. You should get a 1099-G [Certain Government Payments] summarizing all of the benefits you received throughout the entire tax year.


Should I get a 1099 tax form for 1200 a month from my employer?

Any income that you make as a contract employee should be recorded on a 1099. Even if you only worked one day, if you were paid for that work the employer must provide you with a form 1099. If you have not received this form by January 31, contact the firm and/or the IRS to obtain it. Alternately, if you still have all the pay stubs for this employment, you can figure out how much was received and use it on your taxes, while including a form 4852 stating the 1099 or W2 wasn't received. Of course, if you are an employee - your earnings AND withholdings will be reflected on a W-2, not a 1099.
