Which form is used to report income for independent contractors?

W-2
940
1099-MISC
1040A

The correct answer is: 1099-MISC

The correct form used to report income for independent contractors is the 1099-MISC. This form is specifically designed to report payments made to individuals who are not classified as employees, such as independent contractors. When a business pays an independent contractor $600 or more in a year for services rendered, it is required to issue a 1099-MISC to both the contractor and the IRS, documenting the income received. Understanding the role of the 1099-MISC is crucial for independent contractors, as it helps them accurately report their income when filing their tax returns. This form provides a clear record of income for people who may not receive a W-2, which is intended for employees. Consequently, it's essential for contractors to keep track of all payments received and ensure they have the 1099-MISC forms from each client by the end of the tax year, which facilitates proper tax compliance.
