Last year I had been employed by two different companies. I received my tax forms from one company very early this year and proceeded to file the tax forms much earlier than the deadline, April 15th.
Much later, after I had already filed my taxes, I received the form for the other company I was working with. I am a full time student and when I received this form it was in the middle of finals and I had completely forgotten about filing them before the deadline, or getting help to file since I had already filed my taxes. The tax form is for a 1099-Misc and I am not entirely sure how to file this type of tax return. I know it is far past the tax deadline, however I had completely forgot about the tax forms until now. I'm very worried about getting this taken care of, and was wondering what my options are? I know there is an extension to file through October; can I still do this? Any help would be very greatly appreciated!!

Do NOT worry about the extension; it is too late for that.

You need to amend your 2007 tax return to report the additional income reported on the Form 1099, filing a Form 1040X. Your state income tax return (if you live in a state with an income tax) will also need to be amended.

More than likely, you will also need to complete a Schedule C and a Schedule SE with the Form 1040X to properly account for the Form 1099 income.

If you have already filed your tax return, you must file amended tax return Form 1040X.
The 1099-Misc income is reported on schedule C.
How you will treat the 1099-Misc income, read: Your U.S. Tax Return: W2 vs 1099-Misc: Employee vs Independent Contractor.

Thank you both so much for the answer thus far! You truly have no idea how much I appreciate this.
As far as obtaining these documents goes, where can I find them/purchase them if needed?
I was able to find a 1040x online, however it is documented for (Nov. 2007) I am not sure if this is acceptable or not. Any advice on the best way to go about this would be great!
THANK YOU!!
