Why some remote workers receive a 1099 and others a 1042-S

If you work remotely for US companies or AI training platforms, you might eventually receive a 1099 or a 1042-S form.

Many people get confused about the difference.

In simple terms:

• 1099 → usually issued to US taxpayers
• 1042-S → usually issued to non-US workers

Both are information forms used to report payments to the IRS.

I wrote a simple guide explaining why you might receive one or the other.
