A self-employed NEVER receives wages for work performed!

June --

My question is for a friend who is in construction.

My friend earned wages as a sole proprietor. Now the fellow he worked for says he's not a company or corporation and will not be furnishing him with a 1099-MISC. How does he report his wages?

OK Indies: What's wrong with this picture? Right you are. A sole proprietor does not receive wages. Only employees receive wages.


The friend in construction is self-employed and whether he receives a 1099 or not his income is self-employment income.
