While the company *should* correct, your ability to force them to do so may be limited. More important is that *you* can document the correct amount you were paid each year. If you still have pay stubs, cancelled checks, direct deposit receipts or notifications, and/or bank statements for 2008 and 2009, you should be able to establish and show what you were paid each year. Forms 1099 are not always matched against contractor or freelancer tax returns anyway; and if it is, as long as you have documention by which you can prove what you were paid, you should be in good shape in records to establishing the correct tax liability. The company's 1099 is always less important than the evidence of actual payment made to an employee or independent contractor, since its the actual amount paid that determines taxes owed.
