Is a 1099-MISC form for Bonuses?
I called my last jobs accountant today and was told I got a 1099-MISC form for $550 which represents bonuses. I never recieved bonuses for this amount. I did do teaching in the jewelry store and made and sold pieces to the store – but was always paid from the owner on business checks. I assumed I was paid as an employee but now they are implying I was an independent contractor – which isnt true. I did all the work in the store and never invoiced for anything. What do you think is happening here and what should I do?
On days I made high sales the owner would write me a bonus check for $50. It was from her personal business account not from her accountant who did the payroll. There were no deductions at that time – but I don’t believe I was running a business. I worked for her and earned the bonus.
The 1099-MISC you received was for the “bonus” amounts your employer was giving you from her personal account. There were no taxes withheld on this income.
Since the amount is under $600, you are not required to report this income.

In by gone days all a contractor had to do was give the customer good quality and good service and he/she would be set. Then set back and let your customers do your selling for you. They would tell a friend and then that friend would tell a friend. Your phone would be ringing off the hook. I remember as an Architectural designer some days I would have up to four people wanting to schedule appointments for designs. Those days are long gone! But Fear Not! Click Here For Help
