to pay taxes on the wages? Each job lasted a couple months and I was written paychecks but my employers kept saying, ” Oh yea we’ll get to that..” and they never handed me the forms. I didn’t get anything in the mail for them either so are they just under the table for now??

I’d get on to the Inland Revenue (or US equivalent if you’re in the states) about it because I wouldn’t want to get stung with a hefty tax bill at the year end…
The employers are not responsible for it, YOU are. It doesn’t affect the employers either way because they are not liable to pay your taxes, especially as you were freelance.
The taxman always catches up with you unfortunately.
Yes, you still need to report the earnings on a schedule C or C-EZ, and pay tax on them. “Under the table” is illegal, you know. If you didn’t get a 1099 from the company, then you report the amounts they paid you from your own records.
