Do I need this in writing?

A 1099 (or the lack of one) doesn't answer this. Your state and the size of the job do.

Freelancer protection laws count the running total with the same client, not just one invoice.

This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm current thresholds for your state before relying on this.
