1099-Misc

jessica123 · #1 Feb 23, 2006, 05:00 PM

I work for a real estate investment company and they had me do some odd jobs in the evenings. I posted signs and mailed flyers for them. I also received two commission checks for referring investors and a performance bonus for having a house sell at an open house. My question is why I received a 1099 for these things instead of a W-2 and do I need to claim this on a sched-C as if I am self-employeed?

This is my first experience with the 1099.

Thanks so much for your help!

Sorry, to clarify, I worked for them during the day as a regular full time employee doing administrative work, for which I received a W-2.
