You do not need to receive a 1099 from the foreign company in order to report it on your tax return.   You would list it as Other Income, either as self-employment income or miscellaneous income.

No, the IRS rules regarding Form 1099-MISC do not apply to foreign entities operating outside the US. However, a foreign-based company with an office in the US would be required to prepare 1099-MISC under the IRS rules.

Do you know, if a foreign based company is not required to provide a 1099-misc, what form do you use to report income on your tax return? Thanks!
