When you are a self employed taxpayer then you are responsible for all of your own FICA self employment taxes of 15.3% plus any income taxes on your net profit from your business operation at your marginal tax rate.

You will need to report that income, and any related expenses, on Form 1040, Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business, or you may qualify to use Form 1040, Schedule C-EZ, TO determine your Net Profit from Business. You will also need to use Form 1040, Schedule SE, Self-Employment Tax to compute and report your social security and Medicare tax.

For instructions and forms go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for publication 334 a very good place to start with examples.

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.

Can an employer use W-4 to withhold taxes and give employee a 1099?

No. A 1099 is issued to self-employed contractors hired to do a job. If your employer issued you a 1099, they are telling your state's Dept of Employment and Dept of Revenue that you're an independent contractor (self-employed). This means they generally are not withholding any taxes from your pay, nor are they paying their share of payroll taxes or paying unemployment insurance for you. This puts you on the hook for all your own self-employment taxes (FICA & Medicare) which is shared between an employer and an employee. You'll want to check on independent contractor laws in your state to see if your appropriately classified and your employer is paying what they're supposed to pay.
