    Default 1099 dancers: what do you call urself on taxes?

    Hi everybody! I have a quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer too after scouring the net...

    Anyways, for those of you that are 1099 form independent contractor dancers,

    I was wondering how you called yourself on taxes? i heard that if you called yourself "stripper or exotic dancer" then it will be on your work employment history from the social security administration forever!

    thanks!

    P.S. do you guys file under MISC income or as 1099?

    thanks!

    Entertainer or Freelancer

    I'm pretty vague. I also will take on a lot of different types of work though so I prefer these terms because they are more "umbrella" terms that cover a wide range.

    I file a MISC 1099, and I write that I get my money 'cause I'm a self employed entertainer.

    ^^^ actually the IRS puts out a list of official codes that you have to choose from ...

    711510 - Independent Artists, Writers and Performers

    812990 - 'other' personal services

    541990 - 'other' professional services
