<prompt> Human: A little background: I graduated college in May and started working for a startup company in June. I bartended part-time at a restaurant for three years to help pay for college but decided to leave this job to invest more time into my new full-time employment. Due to the serious lack of employees, I ended up working 70 hours each week. Because of this, the owner of the company put me on salary.A couple weeks ago the company went under and is in remission but still alive. I was told to find another job and come back in four months when they were on their feet again. I decided to file for unemployment in the meantime while I looked for another job because money is tight and I cant really afford to be out of work. I recently received a letter from the Department of Labor Industry stating that I was eligible for unemployment based on my earnings at the restaurant. There is no record on there that I ever worked for the more recent company.The owner of the company has cut a lot of corners trying to save money so it does not surprise me that he didnt legally claim me as an employee. I have received all of my paychecks in cash with the taxes already taken out of them. Before taxes, I am supposed to earn 1,200 every two weeks. I have received 900.00 exactly in cash for each payroll and in fact, he still has not paid me two full payrolls. I have one pay stub from the very beginning of my employment but there are no other records of how payroll has been conducted.I dont know how I am supposed to file for taxes on a job I did not legally have. Please help, I am worried that I will get audited and be forced to pay the taxes I will owe even though my employer already deducted them from each paycheck. Thank you for any advice you can give.x200B;Edit: Removed the reference to the 1099, it must have been the W4.  <response>: What form did you sign. 1099 is a form given to you not something you file out. An employee would fill out a w-4 and andI-9. Did you fill out a W-9 perhaps?
