Your Tax Question - 033

Dear John, I know I earned $500 worth of income from a side job this past year but I have not received a 1099 from the company that I did the work for - what should I do? Thank you, Gina.

Hi Gina,

The company that you did the work for is not required to issue you a 1099 unless you earn more than $599.00 which means that you likely will not get one. Assuming that you do not have a business and do not file the Schedule C or C-EZ, You can claim this income on Line 21 of the Form 1040.

I hope this helps,
John
