When you work for a company, or an individual for that matter, as an independent contractor, and earn income of $600 or greater, they are required by law to provide you with a Form 1099. You will use this form as you would a W-2 when you file your Form 1040 to the IRS at tax time. When you are ready to file, you will see a line on the Form 1040 that asks you if you have any other income. This was line 21 on the 2009 form.
Depending on the work on your circumstance, you may also be required to file schedule C, CZ, E, F, or Form 4835. I recommend consulting a tax professional before filing your tax return.
Good luck!

The employer has the responsibility for filing the 1099 Tax Form and not the independent contractor.

For the employer who does not file the appropriate form, they will receive a fine from the IRS. There are employers who do not want the IRS to know they have hired independent contractors. But it is illegal for them not to report. Both sides should keep dependable records.
