W9 or 1099 required?
Hi! I recently watched someone’s dogs, in my home, while they (the owners) were out of town. The total payment we agreed to (prior to the trip) for my service was over $600. Now, after the trip, at the time of pickup, they are insisting I issue them a w9, or that they give me a 1099. I’m confused because I thought 1099’s and w9’s were only issued in a situation where an individual works for a business (like a producer or a salesman for an insurance company?) but isn’t an employee. I do not work for them, I just watched their dogs when they went out of town. Am I mistaken? What should I do?
