Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I do not receive a 1099 I expected?

You still have to report the income. Contact the issuer and ask for the form. If you can not get it, use your own records. The IRS gets a copy of every 1099, so unreported income will trigger a notice.

Do I need to report a 1099 if the amount is wrong?

Report the correct amount on your return, not the wrong one. Ask the issuer for a corrected 1099. If you file with a different number than what is on the 1099, include a short explanation so the IRS does not flag it.

When should I expect to receive my 1099 forms?

Most are due to you by January 31. The exception is 1099-B from brokerages (for stock and crypto sales), which can come as late as mid-February. Consolidated brokerage statements often have a February 15 deadline.
