Follow these steps to get the most out of this template.
In early January, list every institution that should send you a 1099 — banks, brokerages, clients, gig platforms.
Note the form type and the approximate amount you expect.
As 1099s arrive (deadline January 31 for most types), check them off and record the actual amount.
If a 1099 is missing by mid-February, contact the issuer directly.
Reconcile any differences between expected and actual amounts before filing your return.
Keep all 1099 forms for at least 3 years (7 years if you underreported income by more than 25%).
Freelancers and contractors who receive multiple 1099-NEC forms.
Investors who receive 1099-B, 1099-DIV, and 1099-INT from multiple brokerages.
Gig workers using platforms like Uber, DoorDash, or Airbnb that issue 1099-K.
Retirees receiving 1099-R from multiple retirement accounts.
This template is great for manual tracking, but Clarity automates everything for you. Connect your bank accounts, brokerages, exchanges, and wallets and see real-time data without entering a single number.
You are still required to report the income. Contact the issuer to request the form. If you cannot obtain it, use your own records to report the income. The IRS receives a copy, so unreported 1099 income will trigger a notice.
Report the correct amount on your return, not the incorrect 1099 amount. Contact the issuer to request a corrected 1099. If you report a different amount than the 1099, include a brief explanation with your return to avoid an IRS inquiry.
Most 1099 forms are due to you by January 31. However, 1099-B forms from brokerages (for stock and crypto sales) may arrive as late as mid-February. Consolidated brokerage statements often have a February 15 deadline.
