Ok so I just started selling pc in Oct. :chef:
We have been having our taxes done by H&R Block, but last year, we had my dad file it online with Turbo Tax online, because the hubby and I stink at doing our own taxes :)
Now what form do I have to fill out....will I get a W-2 from PC or some other form?
We already got my hubby's W-2, and we would like to file as soon as we get everything together, so he said to find out from some seasoned :chef: Cheffers:chef: , how to go about doing this.
I went on CC under >financial forms and requests>tax information> , and they have form 1099 and some tax info. I just am confused. They only have tax forms for 2005 and 2006 listed. Have they not listed 2007 yet?
Help! And please use words my tiny brain can understand:yuck: HA HA...I just am a complete ditz when it comes to taxes!
 
Because we are considered independent contractors, we get a 1099 instead of a W-2. They aren't available yet though. But a 1099 gives you all the same info as a W-2.

When are they usually avaliable?
 
Really, I don't think they were available until the end of January last year....which is when, by the law, they must be available.
