1099
Independent contractor's document
A 1099 is an IRS tax form reporting income other than wages—freelance payments, interest, dividends, or other earnings not subject to employer withholding.
The number appears in compounds identifying income type: 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV.
As an adjective, 1099 describes independent contractor status: She's a 1099 employee, not W-2.
I got a 1099 from every client I invoiced last year.
