1099 without any taxes

[sara2010 2]

Hello

My form 1099 came without any taxes. It just showed the amount that my employer paid to me. Is this ok?

This is correct, a person getting a 1099 needs to pay their own taxes, employer does not withhold tax.

Note this has to do with I-134 which comes up at the visa interview, NOT when filing a petition, moving this to Embassy/Consulate forum..

1099 is for self employer persons. Basically they didn't deduct taxes as you worked as an independent contractor and are responsible for paying your own taxes.

Yes this counts as independent contractor, and you will be paying the taxes on your IRS return. Also responsible for paying SSA, and any state taxes.

The consulate could care less about your employment, all they are conserved with is your income and if you are able to sponsor an immigrant.

The 1099 is a report where the guy issuing it tells you: this is what I reported to the IRS as income I paid to you. The tax people now know about this!

Now you take this 1099 to your tax professional and pay income tax on it. What you need for immigration purposes is the income tax return, the 1040. The 1099 is just the basis for it. So you basically where working as a subcontractor, not an employee.
