Can husband pay me salary for p/t secretary work and give me 1099 at year's end? And I pay tax & S.S. then?

Sounds like you run the repair shop as a sole proprietorship, i.e. file a Schedule C on your Form 1040, federally. If that is the case, then there is no requirement that you be issued a 1099, as the income would just end up back in the same tax return. I'm not in GA, so I'm not sure if you are getting any credit for the self-employment taxes you are paying into the Social Security. In any event, a 1099 for you would be inappropriate as you are not an independent contractor and would be viewed by the IRS as an "employee" not a non-employee. Thus, issuing you a W-2, with taxes already withheld might be a better approach, particularly if you are trying to build a Social Security record of your own and GA law results in the self-employment taxes being paid not being credited to your Social Security account, in part.
