I worked for a person as an independent contractor. I have not yet received my 1099. I have asked about it and he keeps procrastinating. I need to know exactly how much taxes I need to pay, but what do I do when he refuses to give me the form? I know that other people who work for him are not concerned about getting their 1099s because that way there is no proof that they made any money so in their minds they don't owe taxes, but I am not going to break the law (over a relatively small amount of money). Is there any way to get my employer in trouble with the IRS or anything for failing to give me a 1099 when I have earned more than enough money to be entitled to?? Thank you.
Additional Details
He certainly was more like an employer (he is a solo practitioner attorney and I was a law student working for him), but since his office is less than 5 people, he pays everyone as independent contractors to save himself from the difficulty of dealing with witholding. Also, since law students do tend to be workers of limited duration, it is not a big deal.

The problem is that he frequently paid cash because his bookkeeper was on maternity leave when I worked there this year. I did make photocopies of all of my timecards, and wrote in how much I earned, but I just feel that it is wrong for him not to give me a 1099, given that he is an attorney (ethics much?) and that he is certainly able to write off every dime he pays me from his own income!!
