My employer still has not sent out my 1099's!!!? |
What can I do? I've already made 3 attempts, and they keep telling me they will send them out. I'ts been over a month since the last time I called! Now what!? I worked as a Loan Processor. I never got paystubs, it was always cash/checks. Can I file my taxes without them? Can't my former employer get in trouble for that? I know you probably don't want to be the bad guy, but I would do is try and call your former employer once more. Let them know that you have tried making appointments with H&R Block, or a tax preparer and let them know that they are the ones wanting you to report your former employer. Tell them that your tax preparer wants to call the IRS Franchise Tax Board on them to report them! That'll get them goin'!! Hehehe! =) I would not file my taxes without the 1099's you never know what happens I will call the IRS and tell them what's going on and see what they tell you. You need t ask for it right away. Otherwise you'll be filing a late . You might need to call someone who does taxes to see what you need to do. As a self-employed individual you are required by law to keep accurate financial records of your business receipts and expenses. Use those records to prepare your tax return. BTW, employers don't hand out Forms 1099. They give out W-2s. If they haven't sent you yours, file a complaint with the IRS. They are required to mail in THEIR 1099s to the IRS by January 31st, 2007. That is how the IRS knows abut you in the first place. They may very well have sent their copy and failed to mail you yours. Regardless,you can claim the income you made as 1099 income without the form, if you're pretty sure of the annual amount. There are service centers for taxpayers to call the IRS and ask questions. You call the service center where you would send you taxes? Memphis, Atlanta? I had an ex-employer not send me my 1099, just trying to jack with me, as they had sent one to the IRS. Luckily for me, I had been honest and reported that income on my return. Go ahead and file. Get the Schedule C and do the math. You'll be fine. If you call a service center before filing, you can protect yourself if this employer reports a different amount, there will be a record of your call and the content in the computer. And the IRS keeps pretty good records, too. good luck. If you are able to get the accurate information needed to complete your tax return, you do not have to wait for the Form 1099 to arrive. Form 1099-series is not a required attachment to your return, except when you receive a Form 1099-R, or Form 1099-INT that shows federal income tax withheld. You will not usually attach a 1099-series form to your return, except when you receive a Form 1099-R that shows income tax withheld. The IRS number is 800-829-1040.
