Does Form 1099 capture specific dates of employment?

Form 1099-MISC is Miscellaneous Income. The Payer (person/business who issued Form 1099-MISC) doesn't consider you as an employee so no taxes (income, Medicare, Social Security) were withheld from your earnings.

Generally, the Payer must issue Form 1099-MISC by January 31st (the next business day if January 31st falls on a weekend). But the income could have been paid to you at any time during the year.
