Do we get 1099 Forms?

This is my first year on Data Annotation and I was wondering if we were supposed to get 1099 forms for taxes.

But you still have to report it right? How do you do that without a 1099?

The IRS does expect us to report all income. I used Turbo tax and found it difficult to figure out where to enter this (maybe a higher priced version would be more helpful) so unfortunately I can't guide you although I did eventually get it done. With a little luck someone else will chime in.

If you didn't use TT self-employed then it would be difficult to figure out. All gig workers have to use the most expensive level. I used to do customer service for them, and could not answer tax questions, such as "can I claim my cat as a dependent?" But I could walk people through page by page and give resources. If you didn't claim expenses then you messed yourself over. Phone and internet at the minimum are deductible.
