1099 Rents for a Property Management Assistant?

Question

So I use to work for a property management company last year as a part time job in college. I just received a 1099 from them and it says that all of my pay was in rents? I was under the assumption that I would have been paid as a contractor since I just received a check with no taxes withheld. If anyone can clarify is this is correct or this seems wrong please let me know.

Without getting into the whole employee vs IC analysis... It sounds your 1099 should have listed your gross pay in Box 7, not Box 1.

It's a common mistake. PMs that don't hire professionals usually rush through the process, put everyone in Box 1, then push send.

Bring it to the PM company's attention, they most likely will issue a corrected 1099-MISC.
