Tom worked for a construction firm during the tax year and his employer did not withhold taxes from his wages. Instead, he received a Form 1099-NEC for the wages he earned. Tom requested his employer to correct the error and provide a new Form W-2 for the wages earned, but the employer refused. Tom has his last paystub from the tax year, and since the employer refuses to make the correction, he filed Form SS-8 with the IRS. After filing this Form, Tom has still not received a reply. What is the most appropriate action for Tom to take before April 18th?

• Tom should report his income on line 1 of Form 1040 and complete Forms 4070 and 4137.
