Is the company with whom I performed contract services OBLIGATED to provide me with a 1099-MISC?

it depends on the contract you signed.

1099s are not illegal.  If the company doesn't take out taxes then you are responsible for holding them out of your pay so that you will have your money at the end of the year when you file your taxes.  Any income earned from previous months will be reported under your name, after you incorporate, the date that it goes in effect will start your "new" income. \n\nHowever, I don't know why you would want to incorporate. You have to pay major taxes when you do that.  Maybe you should speak to a CPA to receive the best advice for your situation.

At the end of the year, if you paid him/her $600 or more, then you need to fill out and give him/her and the IRS a 1099-MISC form.  These are not too difficult to fill out, and you need not concern yourself with withholdings or FUTA or anything of the sort since they are a contractor and not an employee.  On the 1099-MISC form, you need to fill in their SSN or EIN (whichever they wish to provide).  Anytime you need an identification number to file a form with the IRS, you also need them to fill out and submit to you a completed W-9.  You really don't NEED the W-9 before they start working for you, but I'd get them to fill it out ASAP.  Remember, if you pay them less than $600, then you don't need to send a 1099-MISC nor get a W-9.  Just because you pay them less than $600 doesn't mean they don't have to claim the income, nor does it mean you can't write off the expense.  It just means you don't need the W-9 / 1099-MISC forms filled out.

If the IRS were to come after your employer, you would not be held responsible in any way. As long as you report the income you receive and pay taxes on the income at the end of the year, you are doing your part. I noticed that you just said your comission checks would be tax free. Are they withholding taxes from your regular paycheck? Alot of car dealers work this way too. They'll pay their salepeople a biweekly wage and their comission is straight cash. At the end of the year, they issue a 1099-misc reporting that income. You'll have to pay self employment tax at the end of the year

IC all the way. Unless your contract/application was processed through the HR Dept. of the company and they "Welcomed" you to the company as a "Direct" hire then you are a Contract (1099) employee. The only reason you went through training and instructional programs was to familiarize you with their goals and wants. What would you do if it were your company???  \n\nWhen your boss did not withold any taxes throughout the year it should have been an awakening.  You should have witheld your own taxes. Simply because you were negligent...don't be stupid. You got bucks and need to pay some sort of bucks for taxes. Unfortunately I fell into this mess years ago.  I got smart and made a lot of money being a 1099er. Learn the rules and play the game .... take them to the cleaners. Good luck! And I really mean this!!!

I believe it depends on what is written in your contract.  I recommend asking a professional (i.e. attorney).

From the little bit of information you've provided, it is your personal income and you should pay taxes on it. \n\nAdditionally, if the supplier is going to issue a 1099, that would be because you are not a business. A 1099 would normally only be issued to an individual, or because a company does not provide appropriate Federal Tax ID information.\n\nBut to answer your question, about the only way to get the money out of the "business" without having to pay taxes on it would be as a re-payment of monies that you've loaned the "business"

You can call their HR department and ask for it.  They should give it to you.  I had the same problem with a loan that I didn't get a 1099 on it and the company was more than willing to give it to me, so it should work the same for the company you worked for.

Well, these things are usually custom tailored to the specific needs!\n\nYou could ask a contractor to see a sample contract.

Unfortunately the company is not liable. You are the one who signed the W-4 form. It is the individual who must determine what is to be withheld for Federal tax purposes. If not enough is being taken out of each paycheck, you may submit a new W-4 asking for an additional amount be taken for taxes, over and above the normal deductions (i.e. and extra $5 per paycheck).

If you settled with the credit card company for a lower amount then what you owed they should send you a 1099C for the difference between what you owed and what you paid.  This amount is income and is included on Line 21, Form 1040.

As a contractor and not an attorney, I don't think he has a leg to stand on unless the contract is actually titled "CONTRACT/ESTIMATE" or something similar in which case the ESTIMATE may give him a leg to stand on. There are a lot of generic contracts that use the title "CONTRACT/ESTIMATE" or "BID/ESTIMATE".\nAlso check ALL of the fine print for clauses that would allow extra charges without an aditional contract.\nIf none of the above is true and he won't back off let him take you to small claims court where he will almost surely lose.

Will the party requesting the estimate share any historical data with you?\n\nIf it's a legitimate RFP you should be able to get some guidance as to what their previous contract was, what they have budgeted, what their expectqations are or who held the contract previously.\n\nIf it's all brand new, you need to bid a number you can live with if you win the contract, even if that makes you high bidder.  Look carefully at the criteria you are being asked to use to find these sites and how much time you think you will need on average to complete the search.  Then take the hourly wage you want to earn and do the math.\n\nRemeber bad business is bad business...\nThere's no point winning a contract you can't afford to fulfill.

Your employer can't interfere in your personal matters, however if some matters involve direct consequences to the company in that case they are allowed to a certain extent. If your contract of service does not provide for the things you mentioned then you are not bound to do that.
