Yes, in California, wages of employees classified as 10-99 (independent contractors) can be garnished, but the process differs from that for regular employees. Generally, independent contractors are not subject to wage garnishment laws like traditional employees; instead, creditors may seek to collect debts directly from the payments made to them. However, if a contractor has a court judgment against them, creditors may be able to levy their bank accounts or other assets. It's advisable for independent contractors to consult a legal professional for specific guidance.
Form 1099 is used for NON-employee compensation; for example, a contractor. If the person is an employee, then you need to file a W-2 form to report wages and withholding.
The State is irrelevant. These are Federal Laws as the 1099 is a Federal form. Generally, $600 is the threshold that requires a 1099 to be filed. However, if your an employee or there is withholding, etc., any amount is enough.
The IRS can garnish a self employed or 1099 employee. If income taxes are not paid, the IRS has the right to attempt to retrieve them.
Yes, an employee can receive both a W-2 and a 1099 in the same tax year if they have two different types of income from the same or different employers. The W-2 reports wages from their employment, whereas the 1099 typically reports income earned from freelance work, contract services, or other non-employee compensation. This situation is common for individuals who work part-time jobs while also engaging in freelance or gig economy work. It's important for the employee to report both types of income when filing taxes.
Yes. You get W2 as an employee, and if you consult you get 1099.

I live in Ohio. I was awarded child support in August of 2012. My ex husband is an independent contractor. I was told by my child support case worker that since he is a 1099 it will be very difficult to have his wages garnished for child support. I am pursuing having him served and taking him to court. I have not received a penny of support thus far. Is there a way to have a 1099 wages garnished or should I just give up hope of ever getting the child support I was awarded?

Yes.
An employer should not charge a 1099 employee for workman's comp. If you get a 1099 you are not in an employer, employee relationship You are an independent contractor.
No, you cannot issue a 1099 to an employee for a bonus. Bonuses are considered taxable income and should be reported on the employee's W-2 form, not on a 1099 form.
Yes.
January 31st. Although you cannot give an employee a 1099. An employee must get a W-2.

No, an employer cannot issue a 1099 form to an employee for work performed two years ago if the individual was classified as an employee. Employees should receive a W-2 form reflecting their wages and taxes withheld. A 1099 form is typically issued to independent contractors or freelancers, not to employees. If the individual was misclassified, the employer may need to rectify the situation according to IRS guidelines.
No, it doesn't matter of you are a W2 employee or a 1099 employee. The only way they can garnish your wages if you owe child support or tax liens. No, it doesn't matter of you are a W2 employee or a 1099 employee. The only way they can garnish your wages if you owe child support or tax liens. The above is a common misperception...and entirely incorrect...as attested to by the millions of people who currently have their wages garnished for any number of things. I believe it is frequently presented, (likely with qualifying comments around it the casual reader overlooks), by places that claim they can resolve your problems...and frequently end up costing you more and making more of them. At present four U.S. states - North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas - do not allow wage garnishment at all except for debts related to taxes, child support, federally guaranteed student loans, and court-ordered fines or restitution for a crime the debtor committed. Normally the maximum is 25% of wages. (These items are required to be allowed everywhere, by Federal law). A scattering of others have a few limits on types of debt they may preclude...but as you may expect they generally then provide other options for debt collection. To your question, a wage/salary can be garnished. Of course as an Ind. Contractor, you don't have one. Then the legal term/process is attach or seize. Under a similar process, a creditor can have your assets seized, or even have those that do business with you and may be where you are an account payable (remember those Form 1099 MISC you get from anyone who pays a non corporation more than $600 in a year), and have any amounts they were to pay you sent to them. Which in your case, would replicate garnishment.
