I’m started my own business (construction & sub-contracting) in 2007 so this is my first time for doing taxes as one of the self-employed. I’m ready to start and have all my tax documents except for one. One client is slow-rolling me; I’ve called and called to no avail. What can I do if I can get a 1099 from her?
No problem; relax. Most of the self-employed don’t have a 1099 for every job. If we lived in a perfect world you would, be we don’t. Just include the income on your tax return & you’ll be OK. Now aren’t you glad you kept good records?
