When do you not need a 1099 tax form?

By Jessica Burns

Keep in mind that if your total payments for the prior year are under $600, the IRS threshold, they may not need to send you a 1099. Regardless of whether or not you receive a 1099 from someone, you are required to report all of your taxable income on your tax return.

Do you have to report losses on 1099-B?

Even if your losses are larger than your gains, you can claim a deduction and potentially carry over some of the losses for future years. At the end of the year, you should receive a Form 1099-B that shows all of your transactions so that you can report them on your taxes.

What happens if I get a 1099 that is late?
