My husband was labeled as a “contract laborer” for an employer, but he was an actual employee (i.e. he was paid by the hour, clock in/out, etc.). The guy never took taxes out of any of his checks, and I was very skeptical. As a result I made a copy of each of his checks! I am sure that he did all of this to escape paying taxes…
I had my husband call the guy and ask if he would be sending out 1099’s or W2’s, and he said yes. However, when my husband asked if he had an EIN he changed the subject and got off the phone with my husband.
It is my intent to file this income with the IRS, but I am afraid that this guy doesn’t have an EIN number. I spoke with someone at H&R Block, and they have informed me that more than likely my husband will get a 1099, but my gut says it’s highly unlikely. He also informed me that it was a smart move on my part to make copies, because many of these guys lie about how much was made by individuals on 1099’s.
How do I report this income without an EIN? Can I input this info as a W2 and not a 1099? Plus, I am using the online software.
