How do you obtain employee 1099 tax form?

Answer:
Form 1099-MISC is Miscellaneous Income. The business where you work provides you with Form 1099-MISC (instead of Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement) when they consider you as self-employed, NOT an employee. Employers are required to provide/send 1099-MISC and W-2 forms by January 31st. If January 31st falls on a weekend, then the deadline is extended to the next business day. You should contact the business directly if you haven't received Form 1099-MISC by that deadline. If the business fails to provide it to you by mid-February, then you should contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
