What other form do I use to file my 1099 misc other than 1040A?

Question

I have all my W2's but I also have a 1099 MISC to file.

Answer 1

Depends on what the 1099 is for. If it's self-employment or independent contractor income, which it usually is, you'll have to file a schedule C or C-EZ and a schedule SE, in addition to form 1040.

Answer 2

You can include the 1099 MISC income on 1040 line 21. You must also calculate a form 1040 SE tax for self employment tax.

A schedule C allows you to reduce the net income on a 1099 MISC by the expenses incurred to generate that income. Since the SE tax is based upon net income, it is also reduced.

You may also be liable for State sales tax on the 1099 MISC.

I suggest you see a Tax Pro.

Answer 3

If you are doing your taxes for the first time have someone help you. There is a lot of stuff to deal with when doing them. As far as where you would report if doing it yourself... Form 1040 first off. Then it depends on the box it's reported in. I'm guessing box 3 it would be line 21 on form 1040. To make sure though look at page 15 of the instructions for form 1040. Go to IRS.gov and just search 1040 pull up the instructions and pg 15.

Answer 4

I'm an accountsnt. 1099's are for informational purposes only. They are usually for ordinary income like interest income, commissions. Interest income you would file on line 8a on Form 1040 and Schedule B, if necessary. Pretty much all other income would go on lines 7 through 21 on Form 1040.

Answer 5

If the 1099 was generated due to a business you run, you may need to complete Scehdule C as well.

Answer 6

Schedule C and Schedule SE.

....and you no longer can use the 1040A. You must use the 1040 long form.

Answer 7

I agree with the Accountant. It is just an informational form. But you can use it on 1040A, and the 1040.
