      I mailed out my paper return a month ago today. They sent back my return and asked for additional information. I am self employed. They’re asking and I quote “Attach supporting documents for your entry of $2,086.00 for federal income tax withheld. This may be a form W-2, Form W-2G, Form 1099, or a substitute Form W-2 (for example, a copy of an earning statement with year-end holds)

      On line 16 on my tax return where it says Federal Income tax withheld from form W-2 and 1099, it is BLANK. $0. So I’m confused on why they’re asking me for additional documents of the amount of $2,086.00?!

      Lines 14 and 15 have the amount of $2,086.00
      But line 14 says, “Other taxes. Attach Schedule 4.”
      And line 15 says, “Total Tax. Add lines 13 and 14.”

      I can’t give documents of a W-2 or 1099 because I am self employed. What can I do?

          The IRS wants invoices,receipt’s and/or log of appointments and prices if applicable. If your a hairstylist for instance, they want copies of the receipt s that you give to customers and receipt’s that you have from purchasing supplies,such as, scissors,combs,hairspray, etc. These are the things that will prove you actually made money and spent money on the things your claiming. Every business owner is supposed to keep records and be able to show proof,if asked.

          If you worked for someone else under your business, subcontracted, they have to provide you a 1099 as they would the IRS,unless they are paying under the table. You must still have proof of these earnings,such as a paycheck stub, bank statements, invoices,etc

            You have to file with self employment tax software.
