    Default background check? 1099 if form filled out but never cashed funny money/cc?

    I have a quick question about a 1099 form showing up as a background check after I graduate from PT (physical therapy) school...I dont have any dancer's licenses and so this is my only worry...

    I danced briefly for san francisco topless clubs but never processed any Credit cards, which is what will show up on 1099's as. I did, however, fill out a 1099, with my correct SSN, and saw them running me into a computer database to make sure I was who i said I was (I know this becuase I accidentally put the last number of my SSN wrong and was pulled into the office where they said that they could not find me in the system...maybe it was an I-9, to make sure i was legal, but i dont know...and then I supplied a correct SSN and they did, in fact, find me...

    Will I still get an 1099 showing up in my background check that I worked for San francisco clubs when I didnt do any credit card champange rooms? I made all my money off single dances and tip out was whatever I felt I should tip them...I dont think they even tracked my dances...although I did pay the club a certain percentage for VIP...which was entered into a restaurant ordering system computer as "server (stage name)" ..the same one they used for restaurant orders ITC.

    Another dancer told me that only CC's show up in 1099, so, if I didnt get any CC's, and theoretically didn't make any money that would be counted on a 1099, would they still mail me one? would it show "1099--$0.00?"

    Also, I plan on dancing in New Orleans later on in the holidays, around late december/early january....I am aware that they file 1099..that is fine with me, since I always pay my taxes in full under "consultant" BUT i DONT want it showing up on a background check when I get my Physical therpy license in the state of CA....You've told me, Melonie, that as long as I do an S-corp for the 1099, there should be "an added layer of protection" to keep it off the records...enough that a hosptial wouldn't find out..." Does that mean ALL hospital, private hospitals, or gov't hosptials..like the Veterans' Association hospitals, in which you are technically a "federal employee"?

    I'm so confused Melonie..Help this Aspiring PT pay for PT school ! : )
    You help is much appreciated.

    P.S. has anybody worked for broadway showgirls? I want to, but am not sure about their funny money being shown on 1099..my friend said they have a funny money system, but it's not entered with your name...can anybody confirm?

    ^^^ legally speaking, clubs and other businesses aren't required to issue 1099's unless the cumulative amount paid to an independent contractor dancer exceeds $600 in a single year.

    As to being entered into / run through a computer database, the impact of this would depend on what sort of database you're actually talking about, and who has easy access to it.

    As to eventually applying for a 'professional license' for Physical Therapy, all such 'professional license' boards would more than likely consider working as a 'stripper' to be unprofessional conduct ... which could potentially prevent you from obtaining that license. Or if the license is issued, it may include the 'stripper' entry in your professional license file such that any potential employer who checks the status of your license would immediately be made aware of your 'stripper' activities. I actually had this sort of issue come up a while back when the time came to renew my own 'professional license' in Respiratory Therapy ( which I no longer actively use ).

    Forming a C corporation, and having all checks and resulting 1099's issued in the name of the C corporation, can provide a thick layer of 'insulation'. S corps, LLC's etc. do provide some measure of 'insulation' via the use of a business name on checks / 1099's, but do NOT provide the same level of 'insulation' since there still remains a direct link between the business owner and the individual person on state business registration documents and IRS documents / tax returns for S corps and LLC's. But with a C corp, determining actual ownership is much more difficult.
