Do I need to include 1099 form I received with my fed and cal income tax returns?

russellg asked:

I received 2 1099-MISC forms from employers who I worked for as a contractor. I want to know if I need to attach the actual 1099 forms to my federal and state (California) income tax returns (or copies of them) or is merely reporting the income on the returns sufficient.

Yes you need to attach – unless you e-file. 1099′s are the same as W-2′s as far as attaching and mailing is concerned.

attache…attache..attache ! if you don’t… it’ll just hold up your return. Been there… done that.

No, you only have to attach W2s and 1099-Rs if income tax was witheld.
