Re: Where to get tax forms NOW?
Oh, she definitely needed a 1099. Her job wasn't much over the threshold, but it was enough ($665). Actually, I was surprised when I looked at my 2009 results. Other years I've had mostly one-off jobs, but this past year, I've turned down some of those and had mostly long-term, ongoing, or large projects instead. I actually had three clients who required 1099s--highest number ever for me.
Oh, HECK NO! I wouldn't even THINK of filing her 1099 for her. I was just interested in filling in the Copy B/recipient portion that she should have mailed to me so I could include it in my own paperwork. The "real" Copy A part would have been mailed back to her to complete and file herself. (Or lose, or throw away, or whatever. Not my concern.)
As it turns out, though, my whole household has been feeling kind of icky and not quite right these past couple days--teetering on catching some virus or other, I guess. Anyhow, the kids and I were moving pretty slowly and never got around to running out to Office Max. But after seeing your responses here, I felt a lot better about this NOT being my problem and didn't worry about it. I just mailed the rest of my paperwork, which was already complete, off to my accountant, then emailed the client and her accountant a heads-up that, sorry, I couldn't wait any longer and had submitted my things without the recipient copy of the 1099.
All's well that ends well (for me anyway). Thanks again for all your responses.
