Hi I need some advice,
I get paid in cash from my job and now I am doing my tax return and my accountant needs a 1099 from my employer so I can get a refund from nys.
I don't think my employer will be happy that I will be asking for one but I just want to be educated why, like what are the ramifications for him if he gives me a 1099?
(I know what he is doing is illegal, I didn't know this when I got hired...)

He has to pay back taxes on your wages.
(And so do you btw)

He may be fined for filing the 1099 late. No back taxes would be owed if he issues a 1099 to you (assuming no one challenges your classification as a independent contractor and not as an employee - filing a 1099 would not trigger that though).

I made a mistake. I think I was referring to a W2.
You will have to pay taxes.

Thanks cnc,
So just to clarify what effect would this have on my employer? Like would he give me a 1099 easily? (Why and why not?)
(I just want to be prepared before I ask him)

Isn't it illegal for him to not give it to you?
