<prompt> Human: I worked 1-2 weeks in the beginning of 2017 for a restoration company we were suppose to be W2 but my former employer sent me a 1099.. it reflects 1650 as unemployed compensation.. I quit after seeing how much of a shit show.. I did not make that much and was wondering what would happen if I leave it out of my tax info this year. How much trouble could I get into?Is there somewhere I can filetalk because I was an employee not a contractor?any help is greatly appreciated.  <response>: If you received a 1099 so did the IRSState! They already know that this income was paid to you.If you dont include the income on the 1099 in your 2017 tax returns you are guaranteed to get a notice from the tax authorities that your return is missing income that was paid to you and asking for the taxes due on that income as well as penalties and interest for failure to accurately report your income.
