<prompt> Human: My wife received a 1099-Misc with income listed in box 7 Non employee compensation. However, her 1099 does not reflect the federal and state taxes they withheld during 2015 which I have a record of via her last paycheck in December 2015, it reads 0 in box 4 Federal Income Tax Withheld.She was told that in addition to the 1099, theyre sending her a document dont know what exactly until we get it that shows where her state and federal taxes were withheld and transmitted which they did on her behalf. She does not receive her total gross pay, her checks do reflect deductions labeled Federal WH and State WH every time.Looking over the 1099-Misc they gave her, I would think the amount withheld by the employer would be shown in box 4 Federal Income Tax Withheld, but it reads 0.Its a questionable setup in the first place as she and her coworkers are not in business for themselves. They show up to an office type location with set hours, and perform work they were specifically trained on and told how to do.Also, her coworker told her to not use TurboTax which I am a fan of because it couldnt handle their 1099s properly. Im thinking, no shit, the 1099 doesnt reflect the money she had withheld. Basically I want to do our taxes correctly, as this is the first year were married, and Id like to avoid being on the IRSs radar for questionable tax filings.Also Im told the business receives semi regular phone calls from the IRS asking how many employees they currently have, to which the office staff are told to respond 1 - the owner.Please help!  <response>: Similar experience happened to me in 2012-2013. Fill out the ss-8 and send it in. In the mean time contact a CPA to explain everything going on. Mine recommended that I pay the taxes myself and then wait for a response from the IRS. That is exactly what I did. I must warn you, this will take a VERY long time. It took 6 months for the IRS to tell me that they were working on it. I recently received a final response that I WAS mis classified and the IRS would reimburse me plus interest. ALSO research what makes someone an employee vs a contractor on the IRS webiste and then collect evidence that supports you being an employee e-mails, texts, photos, etc Send that evidence to the IRS with the proper forms to make your claim. Good Luck!
