J1 (Work & Travel) and 1099-MISC / Help with taxes

Hey there,

last year (summer 2008) I was in the US on J1 (Work & Travel). I found out I worked as Indpendent Contractor and I received 1099-MISC from my employer. I am from Europe, I don't have GC, nothing...

Can you help me with which forms I have to fill? I am guessing I have to fill 1040NR-EZ and then I have no idea what to fill. The previous year (2007) I received W-2 but now I am new to 1099. Then I found something about filling Schedule SE (Form 1040).

I had just one job and didn't make much money (don't ask :)).

OK, so I received that 1099-MISC and there is $1017 under the number 7, everything else is empty.


What forms do I have to fill and how do I calculate how much I owe?

P.S.: (If I would have received W-2 I will be getting my tax refund so I would't pay taxes at all. Do I have to pay something with this 1099 form??)



THANK YOU !!!
