Looking for some tax help ! We refinanced a mortgage last April, going from a traditional bank to a savings & loan. During the process, we also closed the bank line of credit and opened a new one at the S&L. The bank held an escrow, but the S&L does not. My 1099 from the S&L has a modest earned interest amount for the period of April - December, but the bank's 1099 is more than 10x that amount. Is this due to the escrow, or is this a mistake ?

My boss at my new job has most likely been mischaracterizing his employees as 1099's rather than W-2's. They paid their federal and state income taxes, but never their social security. Now they owe back taxes and penalties. Who's liable?

Is there a way to fill out 1099's online without signing up on an accounting site? Surely there's something easier than using a typewriter!

Self Employed Tax Question: I worked as a freelance carpenter for half of '05. Should I be looking for a form from the place(s) that I worked for in the mail? Or do I need to crack out my bank statements and a calculator? (I'm in Chicago, if that makes any difference)
