<prompt> Human: I feel about 75 sure that I earned 700 from them. If they have in their records below 600, though, isnt that what the IRS would go off of?  <response>: You shouldnt really care whether you receive Form 1099-MISC, thats the payers problem; the important part is that you correctly report your earnings and expenses.Also, its confusing to use a phrase like 1099 employer. A company that sends you Form 1099-MISC apparently doesnt think youre an employee.
