Thanks for your responses. The store is claiming that the commission is being paid under a different entity. I know the second 1099 is a different entity. I fully agree that both entities are avoiding employment taxes, especially the store! Oh well, SE tax, here we come!

My client works in an interior design shop. She is paid on a W2 for working there. She also has 2 forms 1099misc for commissions paid from the store and from another consignee in the store. The 1099 income was put in Box 7, usually subj to SE tax. I do not believe it should be subj to SE tax. I think it should have been reported in Box 3. The 1099 will not be corrected to box 3. I know that doesn't lock me out of reporting it as ordinary income, but I would love to get some reassurance. What do you think?

Thanks for "fixing" me!

I haven't had any problems with it. I've been efiling VA states all along. I'm new to this website, and I don't know why there's a line through my post. I'm feeling kind of dejected by it.
