Most consultants receive 1099 forms because they work for multiple companies, while an in-house consultant would receive a W-2.
Independent contractors generally report their income on Schedule C (Form 1040), Profit or Loss from Business (Sole Proprietorship). Also file Schedule SE (Form 1040), Self-Employment Tax if your net earnings from self-employment are $400 or more.

It is illegal for an employer to classify a worker as an independent contractor if the worker qualifies as an employee. An employer also cannot make a worker an independent contractor by having workers to sign a contract saying that they are independent contractors, when in reality they are employees.
Some common examples when you might receive a 1099 include: You should receive a Form 1099-NEC if you earned $600 or more in nonemployee compensation from a person or business who isn't typically your employer. You should receive Form 1099-MISC if you earned $600 or more in rent or royalty payments.
Individuals who perform regular work for a company in the course of that company's business are employees. An independent contractor, on the other hand, is a worker who is not an employee and independently contracts with an individual or business to provide a good or perform a service.
Independent contractors receive a Form 1099 for taxes while employees receive a Form W-2.
