Should I be receiving a 1099-MISC if I was paid through paypal for contract work from my former employer?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I am not a CPA, but I do my own taxes. To me, this is a way for your company to circumvent the law in order to not have to send you a 1099-MISC form. If you have asked the company and no reply, then ask PayPal. Someone will have to be accountable. You have until April, 2012 to file your income tax report and I would wait for an answer from PayPal, also. If neither responds to your request, I would include it in your income taxes with a letter of explanation. It will go either way with the IRS…..accept as is or request more info from you by mail.
