Everyone who works is familiar with the Internal Revenue Service and the annual collection of taxes, but everyone is not familiar with tax forms required for filing by the typical taxpayer. Primary tax forms are income and identification related, based on information provided to the employer by the employee at the beginning of employment.
A W-4 is the form filed initially by a worker when being hired. The W-4 basically provides deduction information and is often based on the actual family size. This is not necessarily the case. Many people claim zero dependents during the work year and then pick all of the dependents up at the time of tax filing. This allows for more deduction during the year and can ensure a larger return for those who receive a large portion of their tax deductions back. Those who do not provide a W-4 will provide a W-9, which produces a 1099 Form at year's end.
The W-2 is the form that is received from the employer at the end of the year and is required by law to be delivered in a reasonable time frame. Many employers issue the individual W-2 forms as soon as possible, but larger employers have been known to take the time afforded by law. Although many businesses mail out W-2 Forms, it has been traditional at many employers to hand them out with paychecks or in between pay periods. The W-2 Form is crucial to filing an individual tax return and can include multiple forms if the taxpayer has had multiple jobs. Always know what to expect from an employer at tax time.
A Form 1099 is issued by an employer who does not take deductions from an employee's pay. Technically, if the employer provides a 1099 Form they may not be the actual employer. The employer, by definition, is determined by which party is responsible for worker's compensation insurance, so receiving a 1099 Form could constitute self-employment. If you are classified as self-employed, there are many tax deductions that can be taken in the long-form filing process. Tax filings for a self-employed individual amount to limitation of the amount of tax owed and in some cases the complete tax bill can be eliminated. This is important information to remember when receiving a 1099 Form from the employer at tax return time.
