You should get a 1099-MISC from them if the amount you earned was over $600. They should have requested that you fill out a W-9 prior to this which is a form that gives them your social security number (or federal ID number if you've got a company entity).

However, it is possible you might not get a 1099 even if you're supposed to receive one, and, you're still responsible for reporting it.
