Hi. My mom is self employed so she does not receive W2. IDOC is asking for form 1099, a letter from a government agency, or year end pay stubs. Would schedule c be accepted as a substitute or do I need to get a letter from a government agency?
Any help is appreciated.
Who did she work for?
@happymomof1 the OP says the mom was self employed.
Yes, but the difficulty appears to be with providing evidence of the income. My kid is self-employed and has a raft of 1099s every year from all of those different contracts, as well as a bunch of checks from smaller gigs, and records of cash payment for cash-only gigs. If the mom is self-employed, then someone paid her to do whatever work it is that she did.
True that…if the work was over a certain $$$ amount. Otherwise, 1099 forms are not required.
My kid provides a service sort of…he keeps very good track of his income…as well as expenses. He does not get 1099 forms for most of his income.
Sorry I guess I was a little vague. She’s a babysitter and gets paid in cash and doesn’t keep a record of income. I ended up calling IRS and they said they’ll send a letter. Thank you everyone for your responses.
Does your mum know you are calling the IRS?
Yes. She was there with me.
Is she paying taxes on the cash income she receives?
Yes
